Just picked this up from my AD today. I'm pleased to add this piece to my rotation.

Ah, the new AK! I love this updated version! I haven't had the pleasure of seeing one in person as of yet, but I know I do want one. Congrats! Enjoy that beauty.

What a slick looking new case…the AR coat looks great too. Huge improvement.

Congrats!

The thinness of the case was a great evolution for this reference. Lots of talk about dial balancing and crown guards and lume. But honestly, the new case is the best part of the watch. Now, it’s a light weight easy three-hander with a superb bracelet.

Thanks everyone for the kind words! I never thought I'd like the AK this much. You really need to see it in the metal to truly appreciate it!
