It is such a great watch. I cant stop staring. I would like to switch to a deployant clasp though. Well worth he wait. How long was your wait?

A year. I was on the list at 3 different ADs. This was the first one any of them received.

I remember talking last spring on the phone to you when we were discussing the 5711 and I told you to tell your AD you want this piece. Maybe we can negotiate a two for one special on our next purchase

Lol. Definitely.

I'm loving this micro rotor and the clear view of the movement. It's insane.

Have you figured out what the little metal tab on the back of the case is for? Also, have you looked into a deployant clasp? I feel so insecure with the tang.

I am assuming the tab is a way they get into the piece to service it but am unsure. I googled it a while back and found nothing. As for a deployant I think they are around 4K. I really like the cool buckle they chose and prefer to keep it original to how it was delivered but am very very very careful when I put it on and take it off for fear of dropping it. One of my biggest surpises is the leather strap. I absolutely love it! In pics it looked deep black and super shiny but seems more matte to me in real life.

First thing I said was I wish it had a deployment clasp!

Yes. I'm afraid to take it off to stare at the back movement, lest I drop the watch.

The deployant is $2900 plus $470 for a new strap. Ouch.
