Went back to a Classic watch to start the week Best, Jerome ...

Yes, the weight is perfect. Reminder that you have it without being overbearing. Also having switched the strap from blue to brown make it even more stealth! J

Thanks!

There is a world beyond rare handcraft pieces I promised 😅 Even though I must confess that you are a dangerous enabler; or to speak using the language of mathematics, P (moving towards rare handcrafts / reading your forum) is definitely higher than it was...

Seriously, I did notice your interest recently, and (needless to say) it would be *amazing* if one day you decided to add a RH to your terrific collection! Cheers my friend.

Dear Jerome, I like you taste for VC watches and you seem to pair them with style. thank you for sharing. I am considering trading-in a Historiques 1921 36,5mm in WG for the Traditionnelle Excellence Platine. Would you share your insights on that? Thanks

Some random thoughts

First of all, great to be in a position to chose between what are definitively two very nice VCs. Some random thoughts from my side: 1/ the traditionelle is a very understated watch which shines with its finishing, movement, timelessness and still manage ... 

Great insights

Great to hear

Fully agree with you that the memories made with the watches are as important as the machines themselves Hope you can soon fulfill your quest with the 222! Cheers, Jerome
