THAT. F1. DIAL. I GOT OUT OF BREATH. 😱🤯
Endgame pieces in no particular order
The De Bethune is incredible.
Weiss/ Birdwell Beach Briches.
It's a "perpetual wave" for the sub seconds, every surfer's dream.
As far as I know, it is the only manual wind Cameron did that also has a screw down crown for added security in the surf.
USA made including the movement.

Honestly the new Rare Handcraft of the surfers really does it for me!
The super expensive ones don't always do it for me. These are in no order.
The Elvis 80 Ventura isn't horribly expensive or hard to get, but I have other acquisitions ahead of it.
The Bel Canto and Hermes are ones that I consider above what I want to pay, but I may. I used to shit on Hermes but they have really made impressive strides.
Too easy, the Credor Eichi II

Macro shots of this dial is beyond words. And the movement is 👌🏽👌🏽 too!
