It makes a BL Astronomic look common (I didn't even know a BL Astronomic exists).

But that will render the concept of OW meaningless since it is not really an OW, if a customer can opt for the exact same configuration as the OW.

The minute hand and the local hour hand in the subdial are also in different color than the OW. I could be wrong but the case does not have the bluish grey tint of the tantalum. Also the tantalum case would never be offered as an option for the AST. I will ask my boutique when I visit next time since someone from there was at the event. I am sure he would know if the OW owner shows up. ![]() |

Someone once asked for a particularly garish color dial and FP said no. He didn't like it enough that the answer was no, he didn't want one of his watches looking like that even if it meant forfeiting the sale of a grand sonnerie watch. I forget what was asked for, but it must have really sucked! |

Spoke to someone that was at the party and they mentioned the only watch AST was there. Not sure if this was the "one"
