Jocke:

What I really like about this watch is that G.O. has rotated the moon indicator almost 90 degrees....

When you look at the watch, it shows the changes exactly as you see it in the sky...

Everyone else puts it at the 12 or 6 o'clock position for whatever reason....

Very nice!

Very nice, Jocke!

I wish they had made the moon display a little bigger, and the watch a little thinner. I'd be all over it if they had! I do like the thinner bezel on the new one more, and the fact that all the minute markers are visible.

Great pics!

Why did you decide to order a bracelet after buying the watch on the strap? Did you have any issues with the strap or was it due to a desire to try something new? I am thinking of getting the same model but on the bracelet right away... Not sure if paying the premium is worth it later on. What would you suggest?

Cheers,

It's better to buy it with bracelet if you get the chance but it's harder to find because 95% of those are on strap.
I got a great deal on the watch with strap so there was space to get a bracelet beside. It's great to have all options.

As always, just beautiful Jocke. It was your Black Bay Red photos that put me over the top to buy one. I'm just courious, how many hours go into producing a masterpiece like this one on the Glashutte?

Thanks Ralph. About my pics so did I use maybe 15 minutes of editing on a pic then it can take some time to get a working setup.
