Thanks for the compliments. Here's a few more pics. None of the pics have had the color altered. The ambient lighting really plays with the dial since it is so reflective
Omg. this blue is so unique.... thanks for the details!

I wore this for about a week straight, which is uncommon for me as I rotate regularly and I'm still loving it. Definitely one of my favorites in the collection. Decided to wear the even more rare Japanese sibling today, 1 of 50 white gold japan offshore

That is sweet. I tried to get it when released but couldn’t as I’m not from Japan.

May I ask around what % your paid vs list pls?

I would sell my 26239OR to get this!

I agree. I'm starting to think I'm part Japanese based on my preference for their limited editions over most anything else in the catalog 😂😂

This timepiece became my grail as soon as I saw its release in 2021. However, when prices surged, I thought it would be unattainable. Hard work does pay off! These watches were reaching close to $300k at their peak, but some have finally come back down to reality, offering excellent value for a precious metal version. After searching for a few months, I was thrilled to find a reasonably priced complete set from a reputable overseas seller.

Yup you are the one who I will blame when my wife asks where this watch came from, I can see it now. “Babe JT made me do it!” lol

I’m so excited now. These photos are just amazing and makes me feel that much better about the purchase.

I have to say I’m now going to have to hunt down your model somewhere and compare the two side by side. Headed to Japan in 7 days and I’m rocking this

Cheers
