Wanted something different for my collection and fell in love with this timepiece. I was a little skeptical at first but it’s very subtle and really impressive in person.

That’s very cool, congrats! Big fan of the frosted gold finish in general, don’t know of any other brand that does that.

You mention it’s subtle, you don’t find that it glimmers a lot in the light and is therefore quite blingy?

Yes it does but not as flashy as you would think(ex: diamond timepiece), i guess that’s why i referred as subtle.

Beautiful

The movement on these is stunning - could spend hours looking at it under a loupe

Looking at the pics on my cel, I had to do a double take to realize it's the frosted version and not the ss one. I guess that goes to say it really is more subtle than one would think.

Enjoy, OP! When you can, I'd love to see some pics out in the sun.

Thanks!!

With seven models now sharing the movement, I'd think each would be increasingly more rare unless they have dramatically scaled up production.

Yeah- sounds like they have not scaled production at all. The large AD I am getting mine from is unfortunately only getting one piece this year. (I decided on the SS).

Looks great - I know FHB is a fan too of the frosted gold finish.

The movement is delightful.

Was this easy to acquire new from an AD or did you pick up via other means ?

I dont think they have dramatically scaled up production, from what i’ve read and comments straight from the boutique pretty much all open worked are limited production and HQ has to approve for an allocation.

Thanks! I did acquire it through boutique, it is indeed hard to source. In my case i guess i got lucky since they were able to get me one in about 2-3 weeks.
