I can sometimes be on zoom calls most of the day from my home office… where my watch collection is. 

It’s not uncommon for me to not only wear, but change straps on 3-5 watches throughout the day. They can’t see what my hands are doing below the screen! 

The addiction is real. 

I think the renders let this down... looking at photos / videos on the site and reviews on youtube of the prototypes, it's MUCH better looking than the renders would suggest and is every inch a great proposition. 

For the guys in the thread saying "would be perfect ... at <$500" please point me towards any other offering at that price point, which is...

• a true GMT movement
• on a quality jubilee
• that has a glidelock clasp
• a case with a fully lumed bezel
• all assembled and regulated in the US
• and is a limited edition to 50 (!) pieces
   

Heck, something that even ticks three of the six above. 
 

... I'll wait.

As a piece of memorabia that no doubt will support the forum too (am guessing that wont be much tho... let's imagine $100 per piece would go to Max and crew so 5 grand which might fund some hosting costs, a bit of site design time, feature upgrades and swag for members), it just adds to this being a no-brainer 1. 

Would love more info on whether numbers / engraving are options and see photos of a prototype with the bezel. I think the colour of the green will make or break it for a lot of guys. 

To be continued... 

If your price is 6k then you’re looking at the rose gold bezel / indices versions of the Navitimer. 

If you’re looking at the rose gold then very likely you have a reason for that.

Either you’re tired of steel and want something in the collection to warm things up a bit. 

Or your style is evolving in that direction. 

Of course the GS (most GS) is beautiful. But if you’re drawn to something because of a specific aspect of beauty you want to indulge in… then indulge away my friend. 

My pick would be the grey dial. That colour combination, the matching date wheel, the tiny pop of red in the second hand and the overall feel of the piece with the warm indices and bezel… well… 

Unique.

Elegant. 

Jaw droppingly gorgeous on wrist.

Let us know what you decide.  

Lovely story well told. 

Im in the UK 🇬🇧 so we don’t understand Thanksgiving, much less practice it, but I’m thankful for my IWC Pilot 41 Chrono… the watch I bought to mark, well, just getting through the last few years intact. 

It also embodies a switch in my brain being flicked where I finally esteemed making happen something that I really wanted over  ring ruled by what other people needed.

Not something to practice every day - we all have responsibilities and folk who rely on us, but something to practice once in a while, to remind ourselves that we only ever get one shot at this thing called life… and tempus fugit

Managed to get it on wrist (7.5in) today. She’s pretty and my does that bracelet REALLY taper! 

If you liked the 42 my guess is you’d really enjoy the slightly smaller size and cleaner dial 👏🏼 Breitling are doing a LOT right these last few years 

Ahhh true… hadnt considered geographic dimension. I have a natural zenophobic disdain for all things French*, hence the blind spot 😉 (I’m UK based too) 🇬🇧 

*except wine. Maybe cheese. Oh and desserts. Pastries too. And architecture.  Ok it’s literally just the service in restaurants that puts me off the entire nation, but it’s still there…
