Sweet Watch Albin!

I'm glad you went with the rose gold! I think out of all the three gold tones in this Altiplano, the rose gold looks the sharpest...especially with the black strap.

Great choice!

I consider this the ultimate dress-watch, a very good choice, pure simplicity. Please feel free to post some writshots and shots of the case-back. Sincere greetings, Filip

Filip: When you say "ultimate", do you have an Altiplano or is it the ultimate dream? Regards, MTF

Let's say ...

... it's an ultimate dream concerning a dresswatch (would go for a look at VC-Patrimony and Moser too) ... It is still a far away dream because i have some other dreams on my wish-list .... Greetz, Filip

Congrats with this beautiful watch

I believe the 40mm is also VERY slightly less thin in width than the 38mm is. This is due to the small second sub-dial at 10 o'clock. 40mm (838P)=2.5mm 38mm (430P)=2.1mm The sizes are better seen when look at the cases in person. Although I can't say it m...
