Incoming Incoming Starwheel

Just got the news a starwheel is arriving later this week that I’ll be fortunate to be allocated.

For those that know, does the watch come with a clasp or is that something extra to purchase from AP like when you buy a ROO? Thanks in advanced.

Congrats! It's such a great reference.

It comes on a white gold tang buckle (not a deployant clasp) if that's what you're asking.

Congrats! It comes in a tang buckle. I asked AP what a deployant costs for the steel code and it was about $4k last year….so I didnt even bother what the WG clasp costs

That’s helpful to hear thank you!

Since you all seem to know, the dial is apparently blue aventurine. Is that an actual stone dial in the watch or just made to look like it?

It is the glass. The WG deployant is around 6k + Tax.

I think if you will be wearing the watch a deployant is an easy decision.

Thanks all! If I got one l, I’m guessing they are fairly easy to get given I’m no VIP.
