Do you by any chance have some more info on the new 5177's, in particular the 5177G-010 that we've been discussing quite a lot here during the last few days? I finally spoke to my (main) AD, and while they concur the dial does indeed look like Boccadasse,...
I appreciate โฆ
both the artistic beauty and the technical challenge in creating these beautiful things.
