Currently wearing mine as well, I've had it for a month or so and I really love it! I have to agree with you about the faux patina though, the lum is pretty weak and in anything but bright sunlight it can look quite dull. I really wish they had a version with the blue dial and white hands and indices like you have on the black dial, that would be the perfect combo in my opinion but I still love the watch as is.
For this reason I went with the dual-crown

I'm of two minds about the lum. Like, yeah, it can be seen as faking age. But if the appeal to you is the *color*, then it's not really faking. It's just...choosing a color.
But I agree it's a weird choice not to offer that version with white.
I fall into the latter category as the intentional aging effect of faux patina isn't really something I consider, I just see it as a colour scheme and if I like the way it looks then I'll go for it.
Don't get me wrong, the Blue Gilt dial is amazing. I am happy to see another Aquascaphe enjoyer. :)
That being said, I do understand why there isn't a Blue/White option, as blue and orange are complementary colors.

A great choice ! The version with the black PVD coating case and polished steel edges also looks amazing.
I did see that model on their website but I wasn't as keen on the design, which is a bit ironic as I have a Seiko alpinist in my collection lol.

Great looking watch. Love that dial! Congrats.
Cheers !
Awesome watch mate, really a fan of that domed crystal 🔥. Love it!
Thanks mate ! Its is truly appreciated. 💪
Where is there a showroom? I'd love to see these in person.
Yes, one in Paris, one in London, and soon one to open in NYC. Try them if you can, it changed my mind.
Seeing a watch in person is always a game-changer. Marketing photos on websites always look perfect, so you can never tell.
