Ok, ok, a last one... I will post some others at the end of this summer. Best, Nicolas ...

I like this one!

Me too, much more than I could think.

By: amanico : June 25th, 2024-07:22

I had not realized the original one was a bronze case as well

By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : June 25th, 2024-10:31

Yes, it is!

By: amanico : June 25th, 2024-10:32

Nice!

Merci, mon ami.

An iconic piece in great condition

By: nasseriq : June 25th, 2024-05:51

Yes, a time capsule.

Did they really issue a military spec watch in bronze 😱.

One has to ask: why?

LOL. Good one!

By: amanico : June 25th, 2024-08:59

A great FF.

Merci, hora!

Where did you find that strap?

By: Ultra Chron : June 29th, 2024-09:00

Vintage Tropic. I bought 30 of them some 15 years ago. They came from the Munich Watch Fair.

By: amanico : June 29th, 2024-09:19

Merci

By: Ultra Chron : June 29th, 2024-09:20

De rien!

Comparing it with the re-edition

By: Bullit : July 2nd, 2024-06:41

How does it come that the vintage looks much nicer even it is really close to the re-Edition? Cheers, Martin

Authenticity. ;)

Sensational piece!

By: JL1NY : July 2nd, 2024-11:21

Merci!

By: amanico : July 2nd, 2024-13:23

Wow, what a beauty! Could you measure thickness of the watch and lugs space ?

By: chronos-lorien : July 12th, 2024-10:48

20 mm between the lugs. A good 13 mm high.

By: amanico : July 12th, 2024-16:50

Thanks, my friend.

By: chronos-lorien : July 13th, 2024-11:04

My pleasure. Are you on to get one??? It is quite a rare bird to catch!

By: amanico : July 13th, 2024-13:36

Not really even close :) I’m trying to understand why the Act 3 having virtually the same dimensions sits less comfortably on a wrist compared to vintage ones

By: chronos-lorien : July 14th, 2024-16:16

Maybe higher and heavier?
