Thanks for the inputs

The lume looks quite correct for gilt dial. If it fades very quickly I will say it is fine!

Beautiful watch!

Question - so is the GMT hand relumed since it doesn't glow like the others?

Excellent question! I didn’t even notice despite looking at those pictures over and over...

I’d love to have some more expert opinion on that point

And yes, it’s on my wrist and I’m very happy with it!
I love that insert!
I noticed the endlinks on the 7206 are 80 and not 58...Should I try to change them or is it possible? Would it change aesthetically?

Thanks!

That’s a great piece, congratulations! Dial Condition is everything with these, glad you didn’t settle for a less than perfect one.
