Thanks Travis, loving the dial too! I may even try to source the pink dial with black counters as well, that also looks amazing IRL.

Thanks, I initially fell in love with the choco dial but I have another brown dial watch so when the black dial came out I knew the combo with the ceramic bezel would be magic... and it is!
