Stunning! I love the hour plots when they have that waffle texture in the tritium. Great insert, too. Congrats!

Great catch Robyn !!

I'm sure some will be along to moan that its been polished .. But for me a sharply presented watch like that is exactly what we should aspire to.. As the factory planned it !!!!

Hope she brings you lots of pleasure for years to come !!

...fabulous. I think that 'fabulous' may have been the word you were looking for.

Mate!! That 5513 is sweeter than a bag of sugar that's fallen into a vat of special reserve extra sweet syrup...
