The openwork is simply a top top collectible, across all brands.
Thank you!

I am waiting for a 15407or. SA was quite confident. I hope I will make a nice incoming thread too soon.
The full gold model is gorgeous, look forward to your incoming post :)

Your journey is also very helpful as I always wonder how much purchases for the wife influence big allocations in general.
If you can recall, how long ago did you ask for the 15407 until they finally allocated?
Thank you! Purchases for the wife seem to carry some weight, but only buy what you/she really want. As for how long I waited for the 15407, it was a little over 2 years after expressing my interest.

That's a great question. Maybe a ceramic piece or a jumbo

Just an absolutely mesmerizing reference.

Seriously OP, it's superlatively sublime.

Enjoy it. I hope it finds it's way to local watch meetups and such to be enjoyed in person by many.

Sorry to bursts your bubble but this is not your grail watch. This is your grail until something else catches your attention. It’s called, the never ending hunt. Welcome to the club.

Wear it the best of health.
