it's been a long time (in)coming

i've had my eye on one of these since it was announced at Basel 2007.

at first, i couldn't understand the need or desire for a ceramic bezel. furthermore, i just couldn't get over how different the maxi dial and hands looked from the sleek classic smaller plots and hands.

that's it, guys. i finally get it.

it only took nearly a decade, but i finally understand it.
