I took the pics at the same time as Jocke so some of them will look the same.

Here in my watch 1/7 and i choose to not have luminova so the hands is painted in white instead.

Resize by dragging with the right mouse button.

The movement is grained, I like the look of that.

Reminds me about a old pocketwatch movement.

Key Points from the Discussion

The factory visit to Kalbe is consistently a worthwhile experience for watch enthusiasts.
The phrase 'It's expensive to look cheap' humorously captures the aesthetic of certain high-end watches that achieve a minimalist or understated appearance through significant craftsmanship.
The quality and craftsmanship of the watch make it worth the anticipation and wait.

How did you decide who will have the #1 and #2 between Jocke and you? A beer party? First one drunk lose? 😁

Best wishes Alkiro

We had an arm wrestling so that was not so hard, LOL!

I started TimeToTalk 1999 so #1 was mine and then jumped Jocke in as a moderator so he get #2.
