Been looking at buying this watch for a week.
Always liked the clean dials, however, just bought this watch from Derek.
All the publicity did not help my negotiation skills
Will add to my 2447N & S, 2448S and 3647N & S.
Look forward to getting this new one.
Certainly not in the Hodinkee demo profile above, but have kids that are.
They are already lining up their preferences when I get 6" under.
Also, great compliment to you Jeff and this site, and I fully agree.
