Sla039

Any owners of SLA039 on here and if so, what’s your experience been like so far? I’m thinking about acquiring it

Had the older one with the gilt style. Was nice, pretty consistently +5 which was OK for me. The only real nitpicks were the crown sometimes didn't thread in easily so I always made sure to reverse thread it first, and it was a bit top heavy. Otherwise cool watch

Do you mean SLA025? That’s a cool reference.

Great watch, cool reference and limited, which should help the value long term.

Not really concerned about value retention tbh, especially since I got it with a 45% discount on the retail price. Looks great in pictures, looking forward to seeing it flesh.
