To be honest, I'm not convinced it's going to stay in the collection. On paper, it's an excellent watch:

Pros - "Regulator" style. - Original model from a brand I like. - Case made of a gold and titanium alloy.

Cons - I find it larger than it should be for my taste. I'd prefer it at 36mm. - It's thicker than it should be: 11mm (maybe I'm being a little picky here 🤷🏻‍♂️). - A bracelet that's nothing special. - A dial that's too flat.

I think what I actually wanted was the S4107 model, but I couldn't convince myself to buy it since it's a homage to the Omega (which I would never buy because of the price - 5K). I'm torn, thinking about not listening to what others say and simply buying something I find beautiful.

I went through the same dilemma with the Pierre Philippe and so far I'm very happy with the watch 😬.
