His post highlights the enduring appeal of its design, innovative materials, and exceptional comfort, inviting readers to appreciate the lasting connection a collector can have with a significant horological acquisition. This piece offers a glimpse into the profound satisfaction derived from owning a watch that continues to captivate its owner long after the initial purchase.

Monday morning.

This calls for the best blue-dial watch available in my collection.

I have owned this beauty for close to ten years now. Still in the honeymoon phase, obviously.

The whole package is amazing as we have agreed on in here many times. The design, the challenging materials, the movement and the aestethics of the movement - and the fit on the wrist. It’s one of my most comfortable watches to wear.

Anyway, just wanted to share a Monday morning moment with you. Please have a great week!

Claus

Hard to tell what is going on in the horizon of your photo? Can you tell us what we are looking at?

I’m in the same boat as you, tenure of ownership and continuing fascination. Lucky we are.

I still remember my hands shaking as I tried to get my Danish bank to let the credit card do its job.
