Many thanks for the kind comments, for those asking I have an 18cm wrist. I am on hole 4 of 6 on the piece so slightly tighter than half way (standard length strap).

It looks great on you - congratulations! Must be a buzz to own such a new and talked about piece.

Congratulations Russell, it looks stunning on your wrist.

As an aside, I had a photo of your rare handicraft PP as my phone wallpaper for perhaps a couple of years! Thanks for sharing your wonderful incomings.

Congrats! You must be a top client to get offered this so quickly.

PS: I would have eaten that whole bowl of Lindor chocolates

Sure the piece is marmite but I urge people to at least try it on their wrist before judging.

Congratulations! It does look stunning on you! I’m picking up a PP tomorrow and will be curious to see if my AD has this one to try. Enjoy!

Congratulations, that was fast! It's a very nice looking model indeed and deserves the right wrist, what yours seems to be.

I appreciate a lot the instantaneous features available on that version and the fact thinness is kept with a big date complication (one of PP's strengths).

Enjoy it well :)

Huge huge congrats, enjoy in great health

I'd have eaten only the black (dark chocolate) one.

OP (Russell), I'm glad you got what you liked and looks great on your 18cm wrist. For me with slim wrist, I'll wait until they release a smaller 36-38mm version.

That’s the first wrist photo - including official photos - that doesn’t make it appear obscenely large. Enjoy it in good health Russell.

I don’t like it at all in pictures but as you say it might be all in the wearing. In any case I appreciate getting the complicated version on the strap vs the other offerings.

That was my first thought looking at the picture.

Congrats on the incoming, Russell. Happy to see that there are still ADs out there who treat their customers well.
