Could you take a close up of above the 5 where the blue,s meet the subdial
In original photo it does look like there’s a flaw there, but to the naked eye and in these photos it is fine. Just a lighting thing.
I know it is not everybody’s cup of tea, but I’m very happy with it. Have been thinking about a blue dial for some time, and I’m a big fan of Hermes. I wear a suit to work every day, and I’m sure I’ll have this on my wrist quite a bit in ‘19.
It’s a beautiful watch to be sure, and a very elegant one to wear with a suit. I’m a big fan of Hermes too by the way. Here are some I have owned, I have sold them all except the last one.

The one you still have is newer, correct?
Thanks for the kind words, no, the one I still have is not a newer one. It is one of their old iconic models they keep reissuing, now thicker and larger with automatic movements- mine is an ETA quartz movement probably from the 1990s or 2000s. Here’s a shot on a NATO strap.
Thank you for the reply 👍
It's a cool watch, and Hermes has a rather large connection with a croc farm not that far from my place that supplies them most of their crocodile skins and has for over 40 years.
Quite a penny to be made collecting crocodile eggs in a few weeks from now.
You see the Cowboys do it with helicopters for TV but below is a better video of how it's mostly done.

Totally off topic:
Just learned that Hodinkee is selling $12,000 hour glasses (100 limited run).
That's $1,200,000 in hour glasses they're hoping to unload. Sometimes I forget how wealthy people are.
The GMT was gone very quickly - under 20 minutes - the normal one was a slow mover, I was checking all day, and it was not sold out until late afternoon EST. I had it in my basket early on - I’m a big fan of Hermes too, but in the end I decided I didn’t like it enough to justify it. If I’m going to spend 8k on a watch, I have many more on the list before this.
Considering the way Hodinkee acolytes usually lap up anything they offer regardless of how it's priced, this is pretty telling
the Vacheron took 6 hours to sell out

On balance when you compare cost/quality to other makers....Just don't measure up. Most recent had a 1mm difference lug width. Should have sent it back but I was busy and forgot about it.
