Doesn’t do the watch justice! Gotta get the blue dial and strap. Such a lovely combo!
Your 5396 looks great - the classic colour combo is hard to beat
Mine is the 014 (only produced 2017-19 I believe) whereas the 15 is the same as mine but with diamonds on the dial The picture is a bit dark but it is indeed blue - the below pictures show the blue more clearly (it shifts from light navy to very dark navy...
Legibility is not an issue unless very dark as the rose gold hands and markers contrast enough against the dial
For the reverso it’s just the standard medium small seconds that I typically wear on either a dark green cordovan or mesh as per below. The reverso is actually a very recent addition but absolutely love it as well ...
The color contrast between the dark blue dial and the gold case makes this watch interesting, and the AC complication makes...
this watch functional ! You have a winner on your hand ! đź‘Ť
