Ah, I forgot that I tried on the ceramic 41 as well. Too big for my wrist.

I enjoyed it but I must admit I like my blue steel Code better.

I think the more pertinent question is: how many pieces did you but before getting this allocation?

Stunning piece though!

Got it three months after it was announced in Sep '22 (I already "expressed interest" when Kevin Hart leaked it in early 2022).

Free flickr account. Upload there. Copy BBCode. Past BBCode in reply and delete everything except the [img].....[/img] part. Not elegant, but works.

Download the Tapatalk app on your phone and set it up, then use it for posting photos. Is so easy to do and posts them in glorious quality and size without faffing around. Would highly recommend!

Wow. How heavy is this compared to the 15510ST and 26240ST?

It’s noticeably heavier for sure. But I enjoy some heft on the watches. I wear a 15510ST as more of a daily and break this one out when I want to switch it up

Thanks! I love the silver dial, it works really well with the brushed steel and is fantastic in the sunlight.

Abridged version of the story is - I had been unsuccessfully trying to start my relationship at 3 other boutiques.. ended up purchasing a pre-owned 15400 black dial, which ended up leading to me making a connection that later led to this 26240 via AP directly (last year). That started the relationship, and I’ve been able to add its big brother, the 26420ce, to my collection this year!
