Congrats! I also bought one and have been extremely happy with it. You did an excellent job on this write up and I agree with everything you said.

For some reason I was worried it would fall flat when it arrived (I ordered it without trying it on) but my experience has been the polar opposite.

I can’t recommend this piece enough to anyone looking for a swimmable HH sport piece that’s not derivative.

I also ordered sight unseen, although I did have the opportunity to try on a Tonda GT and Tondagraph ahead of time while I was on a layover in Vegas. I walked out of the store, called my AD and placed my order on the spot.

As I note above both the PF and GT are great watches. They vary in diameter and thickness as well as the dial features, but the quality is top-notch throughout.

You did a better job of capturing the PF in the picture you posted in the other thread. Once I sized my pics down to meet the site requirements I lost the guilloche.

Basically just because I’m an ADD nut job with an insatiable habit for picking up shiny things and putting them down. I don’t actually have a good reason. I bought it to wear on a vacation which is another bad habit I have.
