Been longing for one for a very long time. Years to be honest. Finally have it!

Hopefully it's a keeper.

Great pickup. Love the BB. Looks great on a survivor rubber strap if you need a change up down the road. Enjoy it to the fullest.

Only thing wrong with it is the plots holding the bracelet, the PVD has started to chip, but was promised new ones, or re-PVD the old ones.

It's PVD not DLC? PVD isn't resistant enough, DLC is ok, wore for some time the reedition in LE from 2009 of the Pam 028, in DLC, not a single scratch, heard they invented something even better, it's supposed to be even more scratch free than ceramic and unbreakable, must be great but I like the light weight of ceramic also, FC is lighter but ceramic appeals to me more

Just open Friday and Saturday and you're done.

Unfortunately not. I traded it. Funnily enough although it was very light it didn't sit as well on my wrist. Keeping my AP collection down to three at the moment. I'm thinking of adding a SS Diver though. May have to lick my financial wounds for a while first though....

Congrats! Make sure you try different straps.

It's fantastic on the Diver rubber and Survivor Hornback.

Looks awesome on both!

Have you had the problem with flaking of the PVD on the bracelet plots?

Nope but then again, I prefer the Diver plots.

You mean titanium ones? It has crossed my mind just to remove the PVD coating completely from these... But I'm not sure how it looks with the PVD clasp, as that coating is still perfect.
