So, I actually did go ahead and buy a watch from Angelus sight unseen, but I got a deal too good to pass up. The MSRP was huge, but I ended up getting a 50% discount and the Gold one was actually cheaper than the MSRP of the titanium one.
I have been gravitating away from the Rolex's, Omega's, and co and more towards the smaller, less well known high end sphere. I have really enjoyed the Parmigiani I bought not long ago, and this Angelus really connected with me.
I am Catholic and have grown up praying the Angelus all my life, and I thought the manufacture movement was gorgeous and loved how it incorporated the Bell that tolls the Angelus in the decoration.
The frosted dial looks gorgeous and I love the contouring of the case and the juxtaposition of the start and stop pushers with the rest of the watch.
I should get this on Monday and will post pics (mine is the one being held by the gent in the gloves and my AD)
