Salmon-ella infection update...

So my previous post dealt with the affliction some of us have of not being able to resist salmon dials. Here is that posting:

I thought I would provide an update on the salmon-ella affliction.

So, Revolution Watch collaborated with Parmigiani in this limited run of the Tonda PF with salmon dial to part me from my hard earned cash - it was too beautiful to resist:

Then, this morning, Zelos launched the Vitesse - another salmon dial beauty and a chronograph no less - I was again taken to the cleaners and will eagerly await its arrival sometime in the future:

I am still awaiting these recent infections from offerings from Dumoreau and Axios:

And Zelos already infected me not too long ago with this gorgeous Comet:

When will the salmon dial bounty end? Likely when my bank account is empty 😉

Okay, that Zelos Vitesse is amazeballs - I'm off to go find more info.

* edit  - looks like I'm too late and they are sold out. well damn!

I saw JOMW's video on the Vitesse and thought of your thing for salmon. It's a chunk, but a pretty one.

I admit, I almost pulled the trigger on this one despite my commitment not to make a significant watch purchase until my fund reached a high water mark again.

It's a lovely piece and the feather pattern is beautiful.

Yeah - sorry to hear that. I checked after I saw your initial message and saw that they were sold out. 

I assumed that might happen despite the higher than normal price for a Zelos.

I jumped on right when it launched today and purchased mine in the first second.

Maybe some will end up on the secondary market, but it's really difficult with some Zelos releases. I'm still hoping for one of the salmon dial Zelos Novas (I have the linen dial which I picked up on the secondary market).

Those are gorgeous - thanks for sharing!

I also purchased the Undone chronograph and had them customize it as follows:

The Batavi is a great looking watch - a buddy of mine purchased that one and it looks fantastic in the metal.

Finally found a Zelos Nova salmon guilloche dial to purchase...another watch for the Salmon-ella infection...

Another salmon update...OK - I folded and ordered one of the Baltic MR01 with salmon dial...hopefully it will arrive sometime in June 2023...
