One week with the Black '60A
It has been a joy to wear this 5960A. One thing that has become even more clear to me is that watch dimensions on paper vs. on the wrist have many other factors in play. 40mm width x 48mm length x 13.5mm thickness. The 13.5mm thickness on paper seems subs...
thanks for sharing thoughts and pictures
of an amazing timepiece. really a great look on the black dial. I still have not seen this in the real but have no doubts it is even better than in the pictures. enjoy and please keep sharing updates again sometime soon.

Did I mention that the crown winding is smooth as butter like eating chocolate mousse?!? 😂🤣

About 55 minutes elapsed time
White chrono hand not yet fully on the 1-hour chrono mark.
Very interesting feedback/thoughts
I am always fascinated by what I realize/think after wearing a new piece for some time.
