I had the good fortune of meeting one of these "in person" and I must congratulate you on a truly stunning piece! This watch is totally not my "type" but I would have to be in absolute denial if I say I was not tempted... I never understood the point of a chronograph (I have owned but never used this complication!) and yet this movement is so pleasing to the eye, it is its own justification! I also love that black bezel "insert" and spent many long minutes trying to figure out what it was made of. It really makes the dial pop! Everything about it was desirable and it was probably the most I have ever felt for an RD. My only question is: what did you do with the amazing "quilted" strap?
