That's fantastic! And the fact it uses an El Primero is definitely a big plus.
Congrats, Wayne.

Ultimately, I went in a different direction, but I’d be very happy to own that.

Thanks. I obviously see nothing wrong with an El Primero with 3 hands :-)
These do get overlooked in the do-nearly-everything category. 100M WR, sapphire, less than 12mm thick, compact lug to lug, 50+hr PR 36000 bph movement, decent lume. I think it looks great in all 3 dial colors, too.

The second hand is a stand out on it.
