Incoming! Steel Code!

Picked up this beauty today and am absolutely loving it!

As many have previously mentioned, pictures do not do this watch justice! The dial is incredibly dynamic in different lighting.

Nice! Looks great!

The blue looked uninspiring in the stock photos, but looks amazing here

Thanks for the kind words to all! Here’s another shot. I love how this is equally comfortable in business or casual attire

One of the most covetous pieces around right now, congrats friend

Would absolutely love to see more pics to see what you're working with, any change of a down-the-barrel shot as well?

Nope, my 3rd. Have a 37mm RO and 38mm ROC. I’ve got skinny wrists and was worried about the size of the Code but it feels great and love the diversity it adds to my AP collection thus far.

Yay, they’re finally showing up!
Looks stunning on you, congratulations!

Was the blue chrono your first choice, or that’s what they had available??

Very nice, congrats!

Question for you, in real life (as opposed to the press photos) with direct sunlight does the dial finish look shiny like a metallic finish or still matte in finish? Thanks!

My wrist is 15cm, the code doesn’t feel large on it but I wouldn’t want it any bigger.

Here’s a shot getting sunlight. The dial definitely changes hue and from matte to more shiny with different lighting
