Any details on this hand-wind movement used ? Is it reliable ?
It feels a bit soft. It feels very light to wind but not what I would call buttery smooth. I was afraid to overwind it so no idea of PR but so far keeping time and retaining PR. It is a beauty to look at.

I just got it and it measures 9.5mm. It looks a lot thicker than it actually is.

Congrats!

Just saw it on Sead gram, how do you find it after wearing for almost a month? Really tempted on ss version

I think it is a thing of beauty. It takes a bit of getting used to telling the time. I still cannot do that at a glance.

Did you upgrade the leather strap?
No that is the one that came with it. It is a 22mm I have tons of 20mms but too few 22mm straps. It is not bad for a rep strap. High shine but needed a lot of softening.

I heard it wears more like a 42mm than a 40mm? That might be a deal breaker for me

You won't believe it, but i bought a 22 mm red alligator strap 'non curved lugs' and it won't fit my AP Millenary.

The 1921 has straight lugs it seems, so now it is a must have (y)

That rose gold version looks really good. If they made the 36.5mm model, I'd be sold

Original 1921 has curved lugs, but I don't know for the rep...
