Promised to post a few snaps. Forgive the poor quality. Wanted to get some of the dial texture while keeping it all in focus, but depth of field didn't work out too well. Will replace it I get better ones. My personal assessment is the flash slightly lightens the blue.

Wow, that is one watch that I dream of, and will remain just that . . in my dreams lol
Very nice piece, one I can only wish of someday acquiring !!!!

It's a niche watch for me, summer casual wear etc. Agree with you, wouldn't have bought it if it had to be among 2 or 3 watches total.

Thanks everyone.

Pretty good time keeper too. I always check a watch for a few days to see what I have, but don't really worry about it one way of the other.

I also don't expect quartz accuracy from a mech. watch but it's fun to track it. Two days into this test it's RIGHT ON. I know it probably back and forth a few seconds over the period, but it's a decent time keeper. AP sends a QA document, but time keeping is just stamped as OK or Passed.

Would love to see one of those in-person.

Great pics! I am partial to the Montauk edition as I spend a lot of time in Montauk and on the Montauk Highway.
Anyone know what the movement is in this piece? Is it ETA or in-house specific?
Really like the colors.
Good luck with it!
