      Nice - love the grande date.

      "I'm done with watches for a Weil…"

      I said the same thing.... about 5 watches ago!

        Yeah: it's hopeless… Once again I am eyeing this Seiko… I could buy it and wear it on "formal" occassions, perhaps?..  😠

        But!.. Crystal: Hardlex  :-\

                ^^^ Just be mindful of service costs on the Spring Drive (Over 1k I believe)

                Pretty interesting technology though and top notch fit and finish.

                  I have decided it's time to simplify my life.  I will be selling all my current "good" watches and using the funds to buy just one watch I can wear all the time.  So the following will be being sold:

                  2 x Breitling Chronomats - both stainless steel
                  1 x Patek Philippe vintage (1954) gold manual wind calatrava
                  1 x JLC gold, time/date/day/month/moonphase with JLC deployant clasp

                  If you have a serious interest in any of these, PM me.

                  All of these are currently at a watch maker being tweaked a polished ready for sale.  He was extremely complimentary about the JLC and the PP, gave me values I should expect to get for them and told me that I should sell these through Christies or Bonhams…..Wow...

                    Nice G!  Those are nice watches –- you're probably aware but just in case, fyi, Blancpain produces their own (free) magazine, lots of good stuff in there that might interest you.  I've got my eye on the Villeret Complete Calendar Moonphase 40mm

                            Great idea,  I will drop them a note when the watch comes back.  Thanks, G

                              I've got one, strap is good, customer service is excellent.

                              just wear - don´t compare - what matters is that one loves what one is wearing…

                                  😘 😘 My 4 1/2 year old daily worn Marathon Chronograph Pilot Watch  😘 😘 (It's a beast!)

                                  I just bought a Feit handmade Bund Strap watchband for it (In naturale)


                                  From the site:
                                  The Bund Strap watchband was first used by WWII pilots because of its insulating properties. The leather band would ensure that the watch face would not freeze or burn a pilot’s wrist as they were exposed to extreme conditions.

                                  Feit Strap finally showed up today after a one month 6 day trip from "down unda"!




                                  Installed and I LIKE IT!

                                      Me too. Awesome strap and service. He's very, very serious about meeting his self imposed deadlines as well. My only complaint is the watch I got the strap for is currently broken! The strap was tougher than the Lum-Tec!

                                            I thought it was worth a look. Bought two in 'Natural', one 18mm (stainless steel stud) for a smaller aviator watch, and one 22mm with a black stud for a Seiko 007 my GF just gave me as a present. I'd like the more expensive cordovan, but they were out of the colours I wanted and, to be honest, I got two of these for the same price and they look pretty good!
