Icon10 My new Big Block

Hi,
I actually fell in love with this watch long time ago, but, for some reason I never bought it, now, I went nuts and I bought a 79160 and a 79260, the 260 probably will go and the Big block will stay.

Here is a pic:



Best,

Great watch and great combination with the black bezel insert not a fan of any steel bezel chrono.

Well done, I love the silver dial with black sub-dials.

A very solid piece

One of my favorites (dial and bezel), I don't have a chrono right now. If I found one of these I'd probably jump on it.
