"P 10" rotor is pretty cool....better choice than "Purists FOREVER".

How was the steel/tantalum mix?

Was there yesterday as we'll and saw the piece. Looked good as it sat there in its tantalum glory.

Price point - very purist!

It sure looks nice, the work on the movement is very lovely. I'm not sure I would buy one at that price though, especially since I'm not a member of PuristsPro watch forum...

Speake-Marin's watch for the same occasion doesn't look bad either.

i think its a very striking watch ,,, i actually would prefer a more mechanical looking rotor , rather than artistic ,, love the materials contrast though .
