Hi there mate.. thanks for the comments.. and great to see you own one as well.

I agree about the weight and distribution.. they're just right.. it's a large piece but still sits very subtle on the wrist.. and the bracelet still has elegance, even though it tapers wide where it attaches to the watch.

Even though it's been to Bienne... it's still a wearer. I'm not one for having safe queens, putting them in and out of the lockbox for 30 years, passing away, and not enjoying.

They're watches... they're for wearing!!!

Three times a week or so.. not for tooling, I'll wear something more easily accessible.. as these, in this condition.. aren't. They're a rarity, and sadly weren't produced for that long.

Thanks for the comment sir.
