    This watch begs to be worn on the gold bracelet, imo. If you get tired of it than rotate to a another, non-gold watch and don't over wear the gold watch.

    100% agree it’s the best looking combination by far, no question!
    However personally I’m finding I’m rarely wearing it now as the band simply and honestly is for me not comfortable to wear.
    A simply on the fly adjustment would have improved it a lot, certainly is a pincher :(

    The watch itself is imo the best watch, this is across all brands, it’s my grail, love it and would love it to be my daily if I could get the band sorted.

    Did you pick this beautiful piece up at one of the boutiques? Which one if you don't mind me asking?

    My dealer holding it for me to collect.
    I did get a call also about 6 weeks ago from Omega in Oxford Street (if your UK based) about them getting one in. I passed as I already got one.

    Another thread on here someone mentioned 1 at an airport in Nice.

    It's pretty amazing that some of these are still unsold. This watch is definitely a grail.

    This is gold - stuffs you find in Egyptian tombs, Inca burial, ancient chinese emperor tombs treasures - and which last for posterity. How to compare with a stainless steel.

    not the ones ppl usually refer to; i was super tempted by A11 50A being a goldphile. Because even its dial is solid gold which is very rare of modern day watches (even if their bracelets and casing are of gold)

    Thought I recognized a familiar bottle :) I'm really enjoying Peroni's stylish new bottle shape. The curves... che bella figura!
