This was an opportunistic purchase, a piece that I admired but somehow felt that I wouldn't get around to ordering from a TD because other pieces always seemed to take precedence.
I was extremely lucky that one cropped up on M2M & because of the rarity value (they don't seem that popular) & price I had no option but to purchase.
Sadly despite being in the EU already it had a somewhat difficult journey & sat in customs for 8 days. It is extremely rare for me but on this occasion I needed to make a couple of calls to get it moving.
It compliments my recent Patek 530 purchase beautifully & features the reliable hand-wind movement too.
Being ultra picky on any negative aspects I guess that the thickness is the main thng to point out.
Regardless I believe the gen is $60,000 or so and I'm extremely happy with the rep as it does a great impersonation of the real thing.................
