The end of the journey!

Been through a crazy couple of years, owned and sold a bunch of watches, moved to AP but still felt restless. After some agonizing about it, decided to sell everything (almost down to my soul) and consolidate into what a friend called a pinnacle piece ... one that can be a faithful companion for many many years while keeping me a "one watch guy", which has been my goal for a while.

Without further ado, here she is. Not much to say about her that hasn't been said already. I am just very very happy!









And a blurry mirror shot for a better perspective ...

The pinnacle piece is forever changing, however, that is just a PRIME choice!

Forged Carbon is amazing, and so is AP. Big congrats, wear it well :)

Very nice acquisition! Almost the perfect 'only-one'!
But I don't believe you've reached the end of the journey

If youre gonna sell all for just one watch then a ROO Novelty is a great way to go. Im thinking this way about the RG Novelty, later on Ill sell half my collection to get one.

Thanks friends! FC is such an interesting material ... It looks almost organic, like a wood inlay with its own character and texture.

Very nice - I held one at Salon Prive and loved it.

You need to get the stickers off now and see what the forged carbon really looks like!
