Seeing my watch in a whole new light

Sometimes I think about selling or trading in my 14790, but then it catches a certain light and I’m in love with it all over again?

Any tales of a renewed appreciation for a timepiece in your possession?

That’s a beauty for sure. How long have you owned it?

It looks very good on your wrist, look bigger than 36mm.

Thanks! Have had it for just over a year now. Currently my weekend watch only, too nervous to use it as a daily.

I think the proportions are nice too, though I suspect most will think it’s a bit small compared to current trends. I have a 6.5” wrist and it is super light and comfortable.

Lighting is very important, some watches look great outdoors in the sun and some look better indoors when they don't get faded out.

Do you own a newer AP OP? As nice as yours is, the new models shimmer and glimmer far more IMO and that makes them even more beautiful!

No, don’t have a newer one. Out of the newer ones I prefer the thin profile of the jumbo. But for basically 1/3 of the price the 14790 is a steal, and it’s just as thin.

Yes, and a great car to go with the watch! Is it a Quadrifoglio? I’m on my second! An AP and an Alfa!
