Here's a snap of the backside. Hard to capture with the smoked crystal (looks awesome IRL).

All over the place! Mostly AP ... but I realized that HH is not for me at this point in my life (as much as I love the brand).

About the same as the 233 just lighter. Different animals though. The sheer beauty of the 233 is hard to top.

Yeah! I might add that the 441 is a fairly rare bird which is kinda cool!

Looks awesome. Congrats.

PS - Make sure it is insured against damage (and theft)! Case repair will run you the same cost as the watch.

What a great watch! This is one where the faux patina works really well with the Arabics, ceramic case and Asso strap. Congrats!

Thanks guys! I really like this one!

Re. whether the material is fragile or not ... I've seen the pictures of a shattered case, but who knows what the owner did? Obviously I do not want to jinx it so knock on wood, but it is super robust and with some basic care it should not have any issues.

I like ceramic too, just too many I like more!

I'm just saying, the cost of the case repair is as much as the watch costs on secondary market. I'm not saying it is fragile, but a drop on a tile and game over. A few hundred bucks insurance and you are covered!

A few more shots. I LOVE this piece!

Wristshot on Micah's Brindle.



The profile and the domed crystal are to die for!



Lume ain't bad either ...
