Oh wow, yes. No disrespect to your first choice, but the new dial combo just blows me away. One of my absolute favorites.

Mega congrats!

You did very well. I enjoy that dial very much.

It seems we have similar taste in watches. Your green 50 year gold GMT is one of my favorites.

That watch could take so many nice looking dials. I like the white dialed one the most. But your new one looks really very nice.
