Thanks to Watchonthewrist who brought this watch with him. One of the few watches I really wanted to see in the metal. Why? Because Rexhep Rexephi is not a brand I know, because it is a chronometer, because it is a manual winding one, and because it is a very nice one.

On the pictures, I was not sure about the dial, but in the real life, this dial doesn't lack depth.

The ring surrounding the small second subdial is disturbing me on the pictures, less in the real.

The case is very pleasant, with some great proportions.

But the raison d'être and the most important asset of this watch is... The movement. Just breathtaking.

The level of finishing is really great.

Good one, Watchonthewrist.

Thanks for allowing me to take these pictures.

Best,

Nicolas

One of my top ultra-grails. Not surprised by how well it did at Only Watch.
