So much noise, so much hype.
Time to step back a few years. One from the back catalogue today. Worthy of more attention than some of today’s coloured dials I think. Being a non quick set, I had the patience to set the day but not the date ! Please forgive me. 😂 ...
Thanks Nico. And as you know (full disclosure) I do like some of the current watches too.
Including more than one in that super hype category.
It can also look more powdery blue in some light.
It’s subtle, which is nice. But also not a “basic” blue which is nice too.
Killer watch and you wear it well, my friend!
I've never thought I'd be into Day Dates myself. It's strange how our hobby works.😄🙏😉👌
Since about 07-08 I’d thought about buying a vintage President.
At the time I was looking at yellow and red gold as they were available in abundance. The one that really caught my interest was the onyx dial, which at the time were pretty reasonable in terms of price. My hesitation was the question of whether or not I’...
Hmm. I've only seen the yellow gold ones! Didn't know that a white gold version existed with an Onyx dial.
Always learning something new from you!
The white gold would appear to be extremely rare, similarly the white gold President with other stone dials (lapis etc).
And Day Dates / Presidents are also not the watches one sees much on forums, social media etc. How many vintage Presidents do we see shared here? A handful. There’s surely more among this group I would think, but we don’t see them. It’s hard to say these ...
I like the brushed lugs on your example better than
the polished lugs on newer iterations. Nice watch.
