When did you pick that up? I must have been sleeping .

I do like the arabics over the batons. How well do the polished steel ones show up on the black dial?

Congrats!

The bracelet tapers from 22mm at the lugs to 18 at the clasp.

Are you sure about that? Isn't the clasp 20mm? That's way too big of a taper.

Yes I'm sure. It looks elegant and wears quite comfortably.

Wow, those pics in your 2nd post are really nice. Looks like the polished arabics match the sub-dial hands quite well. Do you know just how thick it runs compared to the regular Navi at 14.6 mm?

Have you heard if any other dial colors are coming out?

Not sure on the thickness - perhaps my assumption was wrong there. Haven't heard about other colors. I don't recall the website showing color options.

Still haven't taken it off except to shower. And it has picked up 2 sec over 50+ hours after being dead balls on for the first 30. OMG it's galloping!!!!

So after 2 plus days..........this is just a terrific watch. It's hard for me not to stare at the dial.

I like this one better than the LE. The arabics, black date, and gold wings are all nicer. The white date wheel with a not quite black and not quite red font color is annoying on the LE. If this watch had a display back it'd be perfect. What does this case back look like?

On a simple dial, I like a white date wheel at 3 as it helps balance out whatever is at 9 (often just 9!). But if you are squeezing in a date window at 4:30, I much prefer it be as subtle as possible so as to not detract from the symmetry of the dial. To me, that means a black date wheel on a black dial. But again, that's just me.
