Happy holidays, and please be careful!
Love this time only selection. I keep wanted to get a perpetual, but the hassle of setting all the time and fussy dials make me want to get more time only👍
Perpetuals are indeed usually more trouble than it is worth it. I would say that ones by Lange or the old JLC eight days where you can move all the indicators forward by a day with a single push make most sense to me. Happy holidays!
Quite a duo… that VH though is specialness. Enjoy!!
The dial color is really amazing, what do they call it?
Lovely piece Handled one some time ago and was smitten…. Still not pulled trigger though:
