Well done Lee.

Most impressive is the fact that you are enjoying regularly.

I'd love to give one a go, even if only momentarily, just to get a sense of what nearly 300 grams of PT feels like on the wrist.

I’m glad to hear it’s held up that well, I was worried how it would hold up over time. My gold watches have not aged that well, mostly because they are a softer I know, I wear mine about 2 days week in my current rotation, still looks like NIB, and yes, once it’s discontinued, I think it’s going to be a difficult to get anywhere near retail price. Get it while you can..nice write up Lee..

I like the long-term, long review, written well after the initial impressions have had time to fade and you’ve settled in with the watch, especially with a special piece like this. I’ve always wondered about the weight and using it as much as you do and I’ve enjoyed watching you continue to post it pretty often...it seems like nothing else is taking its place in terms of your favorites, which says a lot on this forum. Great to see it used and enjoyed rather than locked away. Thanks for posting.

Glad you're still enjoying it, although you do seem to be sliding back to the "too many watches" side of the spectrum.

Agreed

This forum doesn’t help with that

Consolidation is but a temporary state.

Thanks for the update Lee. It is a world class watch and you've shown class keeping and enjoying it. You showed dedication working out the "finance" side of owning an expensive piece, and I'm glad to see a real person enjoying and wearing his watch. Thanks. PS: I wear every one of mine and don't keep stickers on them.
