New Equation of Time - Well I did It!

So, this was the quickest big decision I've ever made! Traded my RGGP + 2,500 for a brand new Equation of Time. It wears wonderfully, very light. I miss my grand prix, but think I'll eventually replace it with a 44mm RG. Thanks to all for the advice!

The dealer did it, but it doesn't look super hard. Plus, the box comes with a winding box so I'll be able to keep it running.

Yep, that video will make any self proclaimed WIS drool.

Congrats on a spectacular horological piece (of wrist art)!!!
