Great watch
Saw it and wore it several times at the AD a while back... I wanted to love it a little bit more than I did... the mix of palladium and tantalum is amazing, but also distracting visually... I wished it was all tantalum... or the choice of which part is which, tantalum or palladium, might be changed somehow...
Also, the writing on the dial, ultimately bugged me a lot. Seems like only sport watches can get away with a bunch of writing, and even then, most fare badly with too much writing...
I appreciate what is written, but shrug... don't see why it should be there on the dial... maybe on the back...
But these quibbles do not take away too much.... it's an absolutely stunning, stunning watch.
What's next....addendum....

When speaking with someone at VC recently I learned that there is still one of these floating around out there: This is the tantalum and palladium Quai de l'Ile that was made in a limited edition of 100 watches shortly after the Only Watch auction of 2009...
