The california is an awesome timepiece, simple yet astounding. Not to mention you got it off one of the best sellers here on Trf. Congrats!

Congrats Phil on a real gem! Looks great on the black croc. I've been lusting after the ABP special tanning that Mik has (I believe the same as one Martin from Paneristi so famously shot on the 249). Let the strap shopping begin!

I agree, that Martin/Mik strap looks great!

Thanks for coming by and for the kind words...

Any new photos of your beauty?

What a score bother! I was unsure about the california dial in person but it looks amazing in your pics... even next to a beauty like the 190! Wear and enjoy :)

Cali and 190 each have their charms...hard to pick a winner between the two...
Thanks for your kind words...
