Thanks! First impression (I never tried one on before) is it’s EASILY a favorite. LOVE the fattiness! I think it pairs really well with a slender Nautilus (5712/1a, 5711/1a). They wear so differently. This will be worn often.

Thanks!

I really like the gradient on this dial. I regretted not bringing this watch to Camille Fournet Ginza Boutique to try out the different straps in metal.

I drew my camera further away and took it again. Just made it past the lugs both ends, thankfully.

Though I would probably still buy this beautiful watch even if my wrist is too small for it. A case of emotions overcoming the horological rule book for me here.
