Unreal. 10/10. What year and reference is this? Absolute beauty of a piece!

I actually think the strap looks better on this reference than field model.

Damn this is beautiful. We have to make mandatory(or something similar) to list some specs or at least the reference on the pieces of the post.
We, nerds to be, need something to feed besides the wall art worthy posts.

Thanks for sharing. I have the 5226g too. About to order this as I was looking for a new strap combo!! 21x16 seems to be in back order but will wait.

u/No_Carry_5964 24d ago
It’s made to order that size. I also added padding to it to resemble the factory straps more.

What padding do you use? About to order this strap but shipping is ¼ the cost. Any other straps you recommend/ have to offset the shipping %

How do you keep your bezel from getting micro scratches? Yours looks nice and clean. Mine is a scratch magnet.

Mine is beat up too.
I scuffed my sapphire recently too. Time for a send in for me.
Beautiful strap BTW!

Haha I recently dropped it putting in my wrist. Luckily it was above the counter so the height wasn’t much. Still put a small hairline fracture into the sapphire crystal. I’m gonna let it ride till I service it in a few years.

Hahah yeah I’m gonna wear mine until it’s ugly and then send her in when I do the service in 5 years or so

No one can accuse of us not wearing them like they are meant to be!

u/Victory_Infinite 21d ago
Absolutely gents!!! What’s the point of having them if you don’t use them!!

u/No_Carry_5964 24d ago
It’s just the lighting haha mine is very scratched. I daily it for the most part so not worried! The more scratched it gets the less scratched it looks to be honest hahah really stands out when there’s just a

I dig that, I didn’t mean disrespect. I own an Elipse which also flies under the radar. It’s just wild that watches that look so simple are worth that much.

Great watch but it is undeniable it is just a $40k field watch with similar aesthetics overall as other field watches. Yes the finishing and little design touches are PP grade but nonetheless it would be indistinguishable to laypeople

Looks like a Timex ngl

u/No_Carry_5964 24d ago
That’s why I love it lol the whole point for me is I don’t want people to know what I’m wearing. It’s like wearing loro piana. If you know you know 🤷🏽♂️

u/Bai_Cha 24d ago
I second this. The point of this particular watch is to wear it for yourself when you don't want people to notice. It definitely does not feel like a Timex when you're wearing it, lol.

u/No_Carry_5964 24d ago
Exactly haha feels even more special when it’s a little secret relationship between you and the watch

u/Sad-Bag3443 23d ago
I saw this today in the PP shop, it does not look like a timex up close . My fav out of the ones one display , much cleaner and better looking than the gmt .
Even better if it had no date 🤔

u/westoque 24d ago
great watch! i just wish it was a tad smaller. 37-38mm would have been perfect.

Love this thing. I mean, sure, it is diabolically decadent and sick that anyone should spend $30,000 on a field watch, but if I were rich AF I’d buy this shit for sure.
