I was in the same boat, spent a lot of time thinking about this one. I finally got to see the watch in the metal in late 2018 thanks to a generous collector in HK who loaned his watch back to his AD so that they could show it to me. A fantastic piece, and it would be something very different in my collection in terms of case shape, and movement style/finish. For me, I thought it was just that little bit too large on my wrist and so I passed. But I keep thinking of it. I need to see it on the wrist again I think.
