Congrats on the amazing piece!! That's the exact one I am waiting for as well

Not sure if this has been asked, but is the dial Sunburst (like shown in the Rolex pics)?

Not so large for an AC; many are at 43mm; only a couple are smaller (A. Lange & Sohne and Patek at 40 and 39 respectively). Other I've seen are at 43mm.

Legibility so far is great. Super actually. Didnt think about it until I read your comment.

I've been enjoying that thread. Thanks for creating it.

I hope yours comes in soon!!

Can you comment on the finish of the black dial? I thought it was supposed to be a sunburst effect, similar to the blue dial, but in your pictures, it looks relatively flat as in a matte finish.
Actually a nice sunburst dial. The light moves with the watch. Very nice.

I kind of agree with you. But me and the DJ are sympatico.

Wearing the SkyD now. It's going to be hard to take off. But in the am the DJ goes back on until I get home from work.

Brother. My man.

I suppose I am back. But not because if the brand. I just love the watches. I tried hard to find another brand. I really did.

But durability, comfort and style. These watches just can't be beat.

Congrats Seth, very nice, I am waiting for a blue, hopefully soon.
But thinking of rubber straps, that black would definitely look great if you can find one.

As you probably know we in the UK have more issues with Rolex than anyone else, but we do so love the watches and so we put up with all the nonsense. Strapping on my new LVc have to say it is worth it.

A truly beautiful watch Seth!
I'd love to see a photo of that dial shining in the sun - I'm normally a blue dial fan but got a black on order due to that gorgeous sunburst dial.
Any ideas on the weight?
