Very envious smile This is the type of watch that I like very much.

Manual wind with 8 days PR and a simple but beautiful dial.
Together with COSC, Geneva Seal and swan neck regulator what's there not to like.
LUC indeed has many gems in their collection.
There's one question that may I ask  -  Given the watch is probably >15 years old,
Did you have the watch service before taking delivery from the AD?
I know it is NOS but still it is a number of years unworn and/or unwind.

Presenting what may actually be my ‘exit watch’. Arrived today

 
 By: DouglasM : August 10th, 2022-19:06
What I plan to do is get down to a core ‘collection’ of 4 watches, a tough task to be sure. There really isn’t much out there I’m interested in, but always loved the Quattro since it’s introduction in 2002. The ability to store 9 days of PR in 4 stacked b...  

Thanks so much! Indeed it will, and has;

Haven’t taken it off yet! 😝. Makes me smile whenever I look down

Love the LUC hands...

...but while the movement is nice, it's awfully small for the case...

True! I hear you both….

It seems the exception and not the norm these days that movements are the appropriate size for a case.

I have a personal calculus that I use on this

and this one being 29mm, slides in just under my limit. I would prefer a 31 or 32mm movement, but I’m fine with it and all other factors being in place outweighed this

Thanks! I have been intentionally looking

for a business casual watch, and think this does the trick indeed. Post-COVID, my dress attire is much more business casual

Exit watch

Open collecting. I have no exit, but i want not collect over 20 peaces. My reason is to give my current collection all the attention possible. Dive deeply in every pore. Watch whisperer. Going to 4 core watches is deeply. I feel guilty i have not acquire ... 

I like your collecting philosophy!

I would recommend any of the LUC models, I’ve had three and they’re all excellent

Keep on collecting

Honestly, do not stop collecting watches. Maybe you have watch fatigue. Take a brake and love your hobby.

Congratulations, Douglas!

I‘ve just seen this now, but better late than never. Brilliant LUC you‘ve got yourself. I like the manual wind 9 day movement a lot, and it sure is a very versatile watch that goes from casual to dress watch easily. I like it on the blue canvas strap, too... 

Congratulations!

I don‘t want to miss to congratulate on this exquisite choice! The dial is amazing and the whole watch a marvel. I enjoy it very much myself - the blued hands together with the dial shine always bring fascination!! Wear it in good health!!!
