Wish I get mine back, one day. But in the meantime, I decided, every 24th of December, to post my best twelve pictures of this watch.

I couldn't help posting this one, too.

Merry Xmas!

Best,

Nicolas

To focus on the positive; a fantastic watch, love the size and simplicity.

Admittedly while a friend of ours here recently added one, and I have handled it once, I am still unfamiliar with this watch in the metal. Next time he wears it when I see him I will need to take a little more time with it. Interesting to see the trio in that picture; if you could only chose one from those three which would it be? I think for me it would still be the datograph. For the iconic big date on the dial side, and the iconic movement on the inside.
