have been waiting for a solid steel release of the duometre but that'll be years away, if ever it seems

Wow! That really is stunning. Love all the contrasting black and White. Screw down crowns all round as well. I love the way they do the bezel, plain outside, then the mechanism inside the crystal - have I got that right? I guess one of the crowns turns the bezel? Beautiful case back as well, love the gold in the centre.
When anyone on this forum gets a new watch, and a make I know little about, always inspires me to learn more about it!
Cheers,
Carl

Awesome! Ive been so close to pulling the trigger on that many times. My local dealer has one in stock with the old price ($9800) still on it, and said he could do 30% off. Still a bit pricey, so ive been looking closely for a used one.

Congrats...im very jealous :cry:

Fun fact: Kobe Bryant bought each of his teammates one last year as a gift when he won the MVP.

thanks Carl.. the mechanism does not rotate inside. the pushers/crown are only for time change and chronograph activation.

Fantastic watch! :thumbsup: Many congrats! I absolutely LOVE the Master Compressor models.

And he may have a very similar (but not quite the same) "brother" on here soon, if things go well on one of my sales! :wink:

Looking forward to seeing whatever it is, D8. I'm guessing the standard Master Compressor is probably too small for your tastes.
