Incoming, finally

So, here’s my new baby. Quite hard to get in the U.S. apparently. Waited 7 months. I started a thread on this one when I read about the release in 2017 and knew I had my next target. This does NOT disappoint. I can pretty much sum it up with the word, amazing. The Patek guys were making it hard with all their 5170 incomings and during my wait I was wondering if I should have aborted and zagged to one of those. I’m glad I stuck with it and it’s less expensive price tag is a bonus. Enough words, we love pics here.

Beautiful piece, I really see a grand Lange in the near future..... Just won an auction I didn't expect to win of a Breguet..... So.... I'd have to postpone my Lange hunt for a bit.... Congrats on a beautiful timepiece

Thanks man. The hands aren’t blue on this. Actually the dial could use a splash of color to make it next level. Current level is pretty sick though

Thanks Fred, you should. It looks like it almost deserves the asking price. This or the newly announced rose gold.

So much more appealing that the flat 5170. You did right.

I tend to agree, Patek has better case but all else leans Lange I’d say
