New joiner - again...
I had to think really hard on the setup. Fluted and jubilee - I knew I wanted that. But the dial? Wimbledon? Liked it, but couldn't get around the "9"-thing.

So - blue it is.

Its the single baton at 9 oclock on the Wimbledon dial. Many feel it looks out of place and imbalanced.

Congrats. I bought that piece for myself a week ago and posted my own incoming thread. It is very comfortable on jubilee and has not left my wrist.
