Looks fabulous Robin!

Drop me a pm and I can let you have the details of my AD. Recently quite a few people have asked and I heard the waitlist is like 8 years now though as Hajime is a one man show - need a lot of patience to buy his watches ! Also I heard the Tsunami Classic...

Agree about IG. It’s great for making a back catalogue but the community ant the continuity here can not be replaced 😊
Indeed my friend

So many friends here for years and decades
Huge congrats! The dial is super.

The excessive wait time is a turn off, but worthwhile obviously. My only visual criticism is the length of the hour hand... it should be a bit shorter, IMO. Huge congrats to you my Friend!
Thank you Michael !

Indeed the hour hand can be shorter - agree
Thanks Michael !

I heard from my AD this dial which is the Tsunami Classic is no longer for order. The new dial is for the Tsunami Deluxe
Thanks for sharing this
