Going with the new arrival today, MKII Key West (I pre-ordered this one some 3.5 years ago and it's finally here! subtlelaugh.gif)

I can say that Bill Yao builds one heck of a nice watch...the gilt dial on this one is spectacular and even more gorgeous in person, and I'm loving the roulette date wheel.



Congrats Chris.

Holy smokes. What an awesome looking watch.
Amazing coloring on that one.

I like the way the colors are playing together.

3,5 years, I mean it's a bit long, or..... dog smile.gif


What's the width Chris?
Is this model sold out?


Indeed, has been quite a wait to receive this one! subtlelaugh.gif. I knew it would be a long wait and chose to stick it out....

Case width is 39.2mm not including crown. As far as I know, these are sold out but I imagine they pop up on the preowned market from time to time.



Mmmhh, 39 mm is too small for me.
Need a min of 41mm.

Whats the engine of the KeyWest ? (BTW: I like the name of the watch)


Thanks Phil!

As you probably already know, this is a homage piece from MKII, so the size is going after the inspiration, which is the pan-am Rolex gmt. The size works very well IMO, but I know you like a larger timepiece given your wrist size.

It’s powered by the ETA 2893-2.
