And love the ethereal quality of your photograph... thanks for sharing, Ed.
And a beautiful watch at that.
It was on my list for the longest while. I think its iconic, and to my knowledge the first to put the subseconds in such an interestingly elegant spot... can anyone opine? I also much prefer the seconds dial here over the Chrono Bleu spot, and if I had to guess, I'd say the CB would be in this spot if it weren't already occupied by the 5140.
Both the picture and the watch. I’ve looked at this one more than once. It’s purity is very seductive.
