Traditionally that’s how it’s done. A watch makers IV. Keeps the dial more balanced apparently.

Exactly! This pic on the left demonstrates the detail beautifully. It's pure class.





and thanks to all who have posted thus far! Some really great pics in here. A lot of you were able to capture the depth of the dial which is hard to see in a flat standstill image, but in person it's so incredible.

Cant say I see any below MSRP, £31,450 this side of the pond. selling above this for sure. Makes sense as AD's aren't an easy place to get them.
