Incoming OP!

Saw it yesterday and slept on it. Came in the next day turned a DJ and negotiated a good price on both. Decided to pull the trigger.

Fantastic looking watch. How big is your wrist? On paper the 34mm sounds small but every pic I see looks great and well fitting. I’m wondering if the lack of bezel makes it appear larger if you’re used to dive-style watches?

Thanks for the kind words!

My wrist is 6.5in. The watch is compact. The lugs are a little wider and shorter than a vintage datejust. The bezel is a bit thinner. Where a 5 digit bulges at the middle of the case (lugs 20 to case 40mm), this has a less drastic curve. Also, the lug width is 19mm. So, the ratio of 19mm to 34mm, helps keep a masculine look.

It’s a great colour and the OP line is stunning. I have a 39 and couldn’t be happier with it.
Congrats!

Thanks for the kind words, all! It's officially mine, I cracked it pretty good on the bracelet while cleaning my bathtub.

The first scar is always the toughest one to swallow. Now you won’t even stop to cringe when you hear it knock something.
