I know that. But this strip unless it is a CXX option, looks somewhat not the one that I am used to. But anyway not my place to judge, just like someone would intentionally order a F car without side shields. Who cares, right?

Any updates thoughts on it after a year or so of ownership? IMO it’s definitely one of the most beautiful sports watches around.

I was just in Hong Kong and apparently there are 41.5mm version of this double balancier. I never knew such a thing exists until a few days ago. Really gorgeous piece and a lot more wearable for smaller wrist. Only problem is that my wallet cannot stomach the price.

I was fortunate enough to be invited to a trip to the manufacture recently. Among many other pieces, I was able to try on the smaller Double Balancier. It‘s a fantastic piece. Finishing is obviously world class and the comfort rivals RM.

I‘m having a hard time deciding between the Double Balancier and the simpler but cleaner S2.

Leaning towards the S2 tbh but I'm in no rush to make a decision. This next watch is going to be the crowning jewel of my collection and I want to make sure that it's the right fit.

I'm still hoping for the market to come down some more so that I can snag up a grey Double Balancier for around 200k. If that doesn't happen, it's gonna be the S2.

Let us know how your journey to a GF goes!

I can’t believe it’s been a year and a half already ! Wow

The watch still blows me away and feels special any time I wear it and it’s even more comfy than my RMs or APs etc

To me the original size is perfect but it makes sense to make it for smaller wrists too if that’s doable which it clearly is !

Yeah it’s stupid expensive - but scarcity propositions work and it feels very special

I’m in the same boat as you where I’m ok waiting for one to pop up used. They tend to lose a good chunk of value 2nd hand anyways and I’m patient :-)
