Graphite limited edition.
Tempted to see if my watchmaker can swap in a higher grade sw200.

Seems like you could just have it regulated if you're not happy with the out of the box accuracy? That seems like a lot of money and effort for an extremely limited payoff. At least a change to something like the LGP G100 would give you a substantial boost in power reserve. A slightly nicer SW200 though? Why?
I just think it would be fun to make a one of one out of a one of 250. Bonus points if it’s a different color date.
I could probably find a top or cosc without too much trouble.

I was inspired to wear this today by the ads on the Premiere League broadcast this morning.

The new C65 Dune Automatique looks awesome to me. Could be my field/everyday watch for days:

The hybrid straps are great especially the two colour ones. Mind you I can get FKM straps on eBay for considerably less, so it's a tough decision.
Sleek.New Dune received, sized and on the wrist.
What is your wrist size for reference?

Ignore the fact that I scratched my sapphire crystal on day two…
The coolest part that they don’t advertise is the “black sand” dial. Which is a slight sunburst but in sunlight shows a brown sand color against the black.

How did you manage the scratch?

A friend of mine let me borrow his C63 Sealander Lucerne Blue LE to photograph, and this is one of the cleanest dials I've shot in a long time!

I volunteered to drive a mark boat at the local sailing club, it was also going to be my daughters first regatta to sail in (small boats small kids). I was wearing it on the first day with 20-30 kts blowing and squalls blowing through (these kids are little badasses). One and a half races in this squall sits on our course and starts building winds and waves picking up. I have to abandon my post and pick kids out of the soup. At some point in all that I managed to pull it across something that scratched. I have no idea what. But when I looked at it after the races I realized it was there. It doesn't bug me cause it wasn't a stupid scratch. It meant something.
We had the smallest kids on my course (8-10) and they abandoned race mid race due to weather, most kids sailed themselves back to shore in Optis. The slightly older kids raced the entire storm and we have 30 finishers in that course. Older are (10-13)... Serious sailing chops. In this regatta we had 104 in the little kid race and >160 in the older one.
