3 8 9 ! ....Yup, I did it!

Took delivery yesterday on a brand new Amagnetic.
I'm thrilled with this one!
The ceramic bezel, hash hour markers, text on the dial (I could go on), makes for such a fresh and refined look. Very difficult to capture in pics, but so stunning..
I'll hold back on rambling on my affection for the 389, but a big thanks to Nishant for his crazy nice pics and answering my questions.
Yes, I parted with my 305 for this one and have zero regrets although I will always have love for it.
Couple quick pics...many more to come.
Thanks for looking guys!

Very nice upgrade... It has also crossed my mind to sell my 305 for it but its hard to justify the extra money I would need to throw into it to purchase it. Glad you love it.

Congrats! and nice choice. I'm leaning that way myself from the 305. Do you feel that by having the black bezel, it limits you to the amount of strap color choices you can wear with it compare to the all titanium bezel of the 305?

The 305 does offer more versatility, but the 389 is just next level IMO.
I love the OEM rubber and will likely wear it the majority of the time although I do have some sweet straps coming in and will enjoy mixing it up:)
