Accidental Incoming

So...wasn’t planning on this but this showed up at my ad and after they were ghosted by two separate buyers I decided to pick it up. Shared as it’s a change of pace from the usual models..

There is something we don't see everyday! Looks good on you.

And wow that is one hell of an impromptu buy

The hand engraving on this piece is quite superb, especially if you look at it with a loupe. Enjoy this very fine watch I have the WG version

Yes!!! I actually love the G and R a lot. I think they are under appreciated but find gem to be beautiful and very comfortable on the wrist.

What’s “ghosted” ?

Enjoy!

In this case, I guess the other buyers on the list went MIA.

I would love to put that under a huge magnifying glass, sit back, have a beer and watch it all go round inside.

Amazing piece... only PP can do that.

It's insanely comfortable. I wore it for 2 days straight to the office and it felt super comfortable and it has almost no weight as well so very nice if you want a break from the usual heavier 5711 type feel.
