Icon20 Incoming - 126234

After a 9 month wait I finally got the call from my AD last Friday.

I'm not sure if the 9 month wait is long for this piece here in Sydney, or if there were others ahead of me who said no, but I don't really care, I am super chuffed!

The timing of this has worked out quite well. A great gift to myself following a fairly significant promotion late last year and a nice birth year watch for my daughter who was born in January. I now have 21 years to enjoy this before its all hers.

I know the 36mm isn't for everyone (I much prefer the aesthetics of this over the 41 despite having a huge wrist), let alone the diamonds but I absolutely love the piece, even if I am already thinking about what's next!

Mini side story:
I owned a 16233 in the past that I bought following many years of saving and flipping comic books as a teenager. I ended up selling the watch when I started working in professional services as I felt I was being judged by some of the partners (especially so when trying to negotiate pay rises etc.). A huge regret and idiotic thought from my younger self but now that I am much older and more senior the assumptions of others don't really concern me. If they want to judge then judge. I'll lean into it and just do me.

First, congratulations on the birth of your daughter! The watch is beautiful, and I think the size is perfect on your wrist. Your daughter will be very happy and proud to get that when she turns 21.

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

This is the first time I've been able to see the blue dial in person on the regular and the many shades of blue is amazing.
