So I went to see my AD today to discuss pricing on one of these & was quoted only $100 more then I was ready to pay....AND they even got one shipped in this morning!

So needless to say she is now mine. :lol:


I was kind of itching to see if the red would be too "much" in person but I am very happy with the look of it.

So first impressions for me obv are really good. I got the high polished version and it is DEF blingy but I love it!
I love the black bird special pilot bracelet, the high polished bezel, batons are real nice! and the lume is just siick! the dial is a flat black color & it looks great!

...Now on to the shitty pics! Sorry again for the horrible quality.

Very nice! I do kind of like this one. Is the red very "striking" in person?

The 3rd and 4th pics accurately reflect the look of the red touches in person.

I thought that may be the case. The first two give a more orange looking appearance. It may be a while before or even if an AD around me gets one in, sure would like to see one in person.

May have to schedule a trip somewhere to see one - starting to get cold up here anyway.

Was thinking the date might be too much red, but not bad at all! Grats on the new pickup & wear it in good health!

That is one sporty watch. Nice pick up and you can say you were one of the first.

I guess my eyes are playing tricks on me...because the rings around the subdials look orange to me. The red date also looks out of place to me, but I am sure the pictures don't do the watch justice.

Most watches I have seen in pictures look better in person...not all, but most.

Congrats on the new watch, and on being the 1st person to post it!!

Thanks a lot guys!


yeah I am really loving it....The pictures def don't do it justice.

I see the orange tint you speak of..I think its just because I have crazy super-human lights in my kitchen & its sitting on top of my humidor which has an orange look...Might be giving it the glow...this watch def has more of a darker look to it..the red is not overpowering at all...

I would deff recommend seeing this in person. I think its stunning!

but of course it may not be everyones cup of tea.

it's a lot of red, but I do like it in polished steel
