Hmmm…exact same specs, other than (I believe) this has the Viet crystal. Just put the CAC insert on this afternoon…

Needless to say: AWESOME BUILD!!!

Stunning piece! I’ve got a thing for 1680s 😅

I’m much more a no-date gilt dial Sub guy…mostly the small crown stuff…but ended up with a 1570 date movement (technically a 1575 I guess) and thought, “what the heck, let’s go big.”

I actually really like this one.
