Ran into an 1815 Thin Honeygold. Ended well

The other day, I had a catch-up coffee with my AD. Except he had run out of coffee so we had tea. To compensate he brought out a trio of very nice watches. I went in well dressed with the Jaeger-LeCoultre Amvox 2 - but left with another watch on my wrist....  

What a pick-up?!?!?!? I had no idea that any of these were still in the wild, unclaimed.

Wear it in good health, and thanks for sharing the great photos Hussam

I got lucky.

The owner of the AD did not know they had it either. But I do realize that I got lucky. Claus

Very very nice Claus, the Honeygold is extremely appealing in my opinion.

And it’s a nice compliment to your 1815. If the anniversary piece had a sub seconds (like your existing 1815) would you have bought it?

Hmmm….good question!

The honeygold and the thinness were probably what closed the sale. But I would probably have hesitated if it had looked more like the one I already had. Good point! Claus

Big and loud vs thin and discreet Steel/titanium vs honeygold Chrono vs …nothing Contrasts like this makes watch collecting such a fun hobby. Claus

Nice addition… simple and timeless.

Mine says hi. ...  

Looks almost like white gold in daylight

With indoor light it looks more like rose gold ... you noticed that?

Yes!

I just love this color - and the changes depending on the light.

I really wish that Honey Gold was an option in more of their watches...

...but I also understand the point of exclusivity...
