Finally I have a nice time piece, gifted by my wife for my 40th. A piece that will be with cherished by me for life, and one that I have waited for, for a long time.
After countless visits to retailers, accompanied by many YouTube viewings of various watches, I came to the conclusion that I needed an Alpinist. The SARB was on my radar but I felt I needed something new, and a new SARB would be far out of reach. Then came the 121, which I liked but the white on the compass and date window felt like it distracted the dial.
Then came the day I walked into a retailer and saw the 507. This was it, I was completely sold, but I simply do not have the budget to drop that sort of $$ on a watch.
To be gifted this on my 40th is a dream come true, I am so happy to be part of the Alpinist club and have this time piece! Goal is to wear in the original strap as I do like the elegance and dark chocolate colour, but if anyone has some recommendations for some nice, similar straps, please let me know!
