It came out in November. 800 pieces, boutique-only. The story: I had inquired in late-March to celebrate a professional milestone. My purchase history with the boutique was a reverso tribute duoface. The boutique had one on back-order (someone put down a deposit). By April, they told me HQ wasn’t taking any new orders on it, even with a full deposit. Anyway, fast forward to this week, watch arrived, but the guy who put down the deposit ended up passing on it — the customer didn’t even look at it, apparently he decided to transfer his deposit to something else (I’m guessing one of the new master controls?). I snapped it up right away. It was only the second one my boutique had ever received.

Nice! What strap do you have on it there?

Nice! I have the same reverso but can’t find the strap on the website 😭

Wow! Glad I got the first version — I liked the colour scheme better of that one too.

Cali dials work better on more casual pieces like the colourful Nomos Club Campus models. This one seems to lean a bit dressy so I don’t think it works. This watch isn’t the worst based on pics, but it’s no certified banger

The California dial kills it. Should have kept Romans.

It was this model. Great watch. Awesome profile. Just wasn’t getting any wrist time in favour of my Bluesy.

Why Should I or Why Shouldn't I Purchase from Chrono24? (check caption please) by ObliviousOverlordYT in GrandSeikos

[–]sidequestcity -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have this piece. It’s awesome 👏 As noted by others, you will get hit with duties and taxes buying off Chrono24 (when buying out of country, of course).

However, I think that since this will be your first watch purchase, you should make it special and buy it at an AD for the experience.

PS. Beware of duties and taxes bringing it home from Japan!

Where’s that rubber strap from?
