Thanks for sharing! the AK-06 shares the same movement as the award winning Chronometre Contemporain. The dial however is a bit more niche and less classical but hey, I think it is lovely. Personally though I prefer the stainless steel version.

This is a wonderful watch... can’t wait for mine to arrive. The feeling must be quite special on the wrist I believe?

I think I’d take this over the CC too, both would be nice. But this is more interesting for sure. Congrats. There are a few more incoming on the forum from what I know, looking forward to hearing everyone’s views once all are delivered.
