Congratulations WillyJo

2 years and well worth the wait I am sure. It’s a beautifully balanced piece and the new 7138 movement is off the charts.

More pics and thoughts please.

Congratulations Willyjo,

I’m curious, would you have preferred the previous 03 version which has more of a color contrast between the dial and subdials, or is that not such a big deal compared to new movement?

Huge congrats Willy. The watch looks amazing and the wait was worth it since you got the new and improved QP movement.

I was actually allocated that last year but asked to wait for this because of the new movement.

Nice! Thanks encouraging to know since I was lamenting the change (from a purely aesthetic standpoint). But this new movement is a huge upgrade
