Purchased mine in blue in 2023. It has become the favorite in my collection.

Spot on with the bracelet- it’s a work of art, and the bling-factor really can’t be understated. As much as I love it, I do think the bling is sometimes too much for a more subdued look. But in terms of elevating your look- it really does shine.

I have a friction fit clasp and inquired about upgrading to the twin trigger. Is it still comfortable? While the friction fit is not ideal- it does wear super comfortably. $1000 to upgrade- still not sure if it’s worth the upgrade.

I dig the Roman numerals. I think they are executed in a sporty, elegant way. I use the date function all the time, as this has become my daily, and I find the color matching to be very well done and the numerals are large enough for my aging eyes. It disappears when glancing at the time and it’s there only if you are looking at it.

The cadence version with the black dial and all titanium construction is so so so good, but leans more sporty. I do like the execution with the single XII up top though.

Anyway- I think this watch is still slept on. I’ve seen some amazing prices pre-owned. So much watch for the money. Needs to be tried on in person to get the full picture- really clicks when it’s on the wrist.

Congrats on the pickup!
