So good.
Your pics + too many pre-dinner drinks yesterday may have resulted in my first "Bond watch" purchase.

You’ll want to sell a small Tudor to offset this. I can help.

I agree. I wish more companies would do their Ceramic in matte (cough Rolex cough) like the Pelagos and this one.

This is actually aluminum (which is a good thing for me).

One might call it “Lumenum”

Yes, it is strange and kinda cool to go from the muted coloring to the bright blue lume coming out of the sun.

Great looking piece, and nice on that strap. Picked my SMP chrono up after a service last Sunday and tried this on with the titanuim mesh. Really beautiful looking and super quality on the mesh. Felt really light on the wrist. Would take some getting used too for me.....

I had the original blue 2531.80. The newer models really make me want one. I’m one of those that actually did prefer the skeleton hands and I’m glad they fixed the length of them. They were way too short on the original 41mm.
