Incoming Ruthenium 15400!

[TTAlex]

The choice came down to the white (silver) dial and this one. Went with Ruthenium because I felt the silver dial was too close to my white Sky Dweller.

Things I like: Feels great on the wrist. Comfortable. Very good looking. Different than anything that isn’t AP — and adds an entirely new component to my small collection.

But my favorite thing is the huge range of colors the dial can display (see below). From reflective shiny silver which matches the bezel to nearly black. One of my favorite looks is the creamy gray. I’ve tried to capture this in the first pic below (yes, the the dial is still wrapped as I was still evaluating it when taking pics).

I know there have been some questions about contrast and the whole ensemble appearing too monochromatic. Thus far in my early experience, there is a ton of contrast 90% of the time.

A note for those considering this color: it is only reflective when it is under direct indoor lamp / overhead light. Otherwise, in natural light or most indoor settings that aren’t at a desk with lights overhead, it does not appear shiny, but various versions of a matte finish.

I bought this somewhat spur of the moment, but unlike some other watches, I’ve bonded with it quickly!
