Yep. We've definitely entered grail territory with this one. That has to be one of the best looking watches made. Looks great on your wrist, too. Congrats!

For years, the Smurf has been my "grail", but I think the YG version has actually won me over more. It just seems like the perfect combination. Wear it in the best of health.
Nothing is perfect in life but this one gets close!

Didn´t wear mine for over two weeks now, about time to pick it up from the bank vault today, especially after seeing the pics on this thread.
You were also part of this particular inspiration. Thank you and hurry, get yours out of the vault!

Thank you buddy Mik! Sometimes, we just have to give these incredible pieces a try. Life is too short to hold back and wait. I am glad I gave this beauty a shot even without seeing in person before purchase. I did that with the 5711 too!
