Looks stunning on you, congratulations!

Was the blue chrono your first choice, or that’s what they had available??

I actually preferred the green until I saw them both in person and the blue then became an easy decision for me. The green is gorgeous, but something about the blue really spoke to me.

Would absolutely love to see more pics to see what you're working with, any change of a down-the-barrel shot as well?

This looks so much better in the natural light...when I saw it in the harsh lighting of the boutique it just didn't sing to me, but man this looks great in these shots. Thanks OP!

I totally agree, the awesome folks at the Dallas boutique definitely suggested viewing in natural light while I was checking them out. The more I wear it the more I am falling in love with it! Full of fun surprises.

By chance did you get a chance to see the beige/ceramic chrono too?
If so, what did you think of that compared to blue and green?

Between the blue and green, I’m thinking that the blue is more versatile, perhaps.

Obviously, it depends what else is in the collection...with that said, the green here and blue in a RO, ROC or Jumbo would pair nicely together.

Thx for posting all these pics - it's great to see it from so many angles/lighting conditions as I haven't been able to see one in person yet

I did not see the beige/ceramic. The green was also gorgeous, I just tend to prefer blue as a color in general and was wearing a blue colored blazer when checking them out, so maybe that played a role

after seeing this thread a few days ago, I was so jealous. but....my SA just texted me that I got an allocation for the same blue Chrono! looks like these are starting to come in. I would have preferred the ceramic mid case, but can't turn down this beautiful blue dial. unfortunately I have to wait a week or so since im traveling

Great to see steel Codes starting to come out.
Blue color looks much more vibrant in real life than on the stock photos.
Curious to also see the smoke beige.

Would really, really love to see how the dial plays in natural light in a video clip also, that could be the real selling point for this new style

This is the only video I have been able to find out. Based on it, I thought the beige looks best as the blue looks a bit flat, but seeing the photos now it is actually not the case.

Just picked up mine today. I have to say, this is one you have to see it in person as pictures and videos just don’t do it justice. Looks incredible and very thrilled with my purchase and special thanks to Kelly at the Bal Harbour boutique who is incredible to work with

So nice! I’d love to put that on a black strap as well.
