Thanks, and I agree! I've been a fan of Kari's work for years.

I've been reading his book, and it, too, is very interesting. My wife makes fun of me for reading picture books now .

"The Waiting Is the Hardest Part" – Part II
By: JoshTheCanadian : April 14th, 2022-17:26
Please follow the link for Part I of this journey. 4 months. A mere 4 months. That is the short period of time that has elapsed since I posted Part I of this journey - thereby commencing Part II. Part II... well, this is the leg that will last. Part II is...

The English word "WOW" does not fully capture how amazing that timepiece is. Perhaps some things transcend mere words?
I go back and forth.

The RG and blue is spectacularly dramatic and beautiful. But platinum and salmon just screams "special" to me - and I think it will be special in the metal. I think the blue makes more poetic sense, it being a reflection of the night sky. The only downsid...
You really cannot go wrong with any Kari..

Although I have to say I really like the RG and Blue dial. That just has so much charm. I cannot imagine doing bespoke clothes. Fortunately, its scrubs for work and Kohls sweatshirts and Lulu pants for me (easy, simple and comfy).
Wow.

Superb. I personally prefer the Roman numerals here.
I'm not a roman guy AT ALL!
By: JoshTheCanadian : April 14th, 2022-18:28
But I agree, the roman numerals here are lovely. The entire dial feels charmingly antiquated.
I'm not either.
By: Cozmopak : April 14th, 2022-18:49
But here, it works beautifully, in my opinion.
Gorgeous...

Kari's creations are always quite special!
Both great!

Congrats and enjoy whichever way you decide!
I think KV watches are awesome...

...but his Roman numerals are incredibly awkward in my opinion. I would prefer to see then 'unflipped' and curved to match the edge of the dial. Chopard (among others) does a really good job with this. Credit: Watch Club ...
Very interesting.

I'll have to think about the flipped v. unflipped. That is something I had not considered.
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition : )

...the details of dial design are usually glossed over, even by manufacturers. Good thing I'm OCD when it comes to that sort of thing...
Picture number 3 it is for me

But the choice is difficult since, as was mentioned already, you can't go wrong with any Kari. GEO
How about this...
By: JoshTheCanadian : April 14th, 2022-19:34
Why don't you talk to my wife, and get her thoughts on that proposition! I have a feeling you will not love her response!
Well
By: TeutonicCarFan : April 15th, 2022-09:59
Mine doesn't listen to me...so can't help you! If one, platinum and salmon. But no wrong choice!
Beautiful options.
By: matto1 : April 14th, 2022-20:25
Had not seen the cosmic (?) dial, wow. I'm also in the KV waiting queue. Was initially leaning towards the romans, but am really liking the clean look of the arabics. Either way, some things are worth waiting for!

Absolutely amazing iterations here!
By: Mike H : April 14th, 2022-22:07
They ALL look fantastic and I personally love the blue one (reminds me my ex) but I even prefer the salmon platinum combination, it's a killer combo!
A brief update...

The greatest difficulty associated with a multi-year waitlist - temptations. In that way, it is not dissimilar to a long-distance relationship. I have not been tempted by another brand, which is a relief, because that is a sure-fire way to know that you m...
