Aesthetically I find this much more engaging than the previous version.

Maybe too early to judge, but does anyone prefer the former?

This looks amazing

I wonder how many parts in the movement - it looks highly complex
Indeed

I believe that word applies 🤯

It raises the blood pressure of the viewers and may damage their financials permanently. I lose sleep if I look at such photographs at night. My wife has serious objections as well. Moderators please take note. 😜😍🥰🤩
I am not normally keen on overly complicated watches

But this offering is quite something. What for me is most amazing is the movement size is 34.6mm and yet FP Journe can place it in a 40mm case! For me that in itself is a feat as it leaves slight more than 5mm for the case to surround the movement.
So sorry, I made it sound so easy

but you are right, I would have to collect the RW Smith, possibly sell it if I find the height of the watch too high (which it could very well be at 13 or 13.5mm compared to the Resonance 11mm) and then use the sale proceeds to buy the Resonance. I know t...
Many thanks for the encouragement!

I always thought if I was not happy with the height of the RW Smith that I may 'swap' it for a Voutilainen Vingt 8 and Rexhep's Chronometre Contemporain Revision Two due next year. Sounds like a no brainer for some but like you say, the wearability of a w...
My back up plan sounds promising
By: sham1 : April 29th, 2020-05:06
but it all depends on how much I would get from the sale of a brand new Series 2. We shall see.
A lot! I have a confession:

I saved that picture of the chonky RWS from when you first posted it. It helped cure my thirst for one. But, it shouldn't, since my Breguet Marine tourbillon chrono is a little thicker (or thiccer, as kids say). I will try and keep this knowledge from mys...
42mm x 14mm comparison
By: Spangles - Dr. Tabby : April 29th, 2020-08:59
For size reference only, not that my watch could ever hold a candle to a RWS! ...
Sure, it's something like 18.6cm but somewhat flat.
By: Spangles - Dr. Tabby : April 29th, 2020-09:49
The proportions of the watch plus the sloped bezel also help a lot. I should say that the terms "chonky" and "thicc" have positive and affectionate connotations! A big, adorable cat will get a lot of "He's a chonker!" And a fully filled-out women may draw...
You are very fortunate
By: sham1 : April 29th, 2020-10:11
that your wrist is 2cms bigger than mine! Thank god we are talking wrists here

I think somehow
By: sham1 : April 29th, 2020-10:09
42mm x 14mm is less obviously high than 38mm x 13.5mm so perhaps one could say your lovely Breguet is more balanced. You see, if Kari with his Vingt 8 which comes in 37mm or 39mm can make the height of his watches 10.8mm and 11.5mm respectively and Rexhep...
KV can wear a little big as you've no doubt found.
By: Spangles - Dr. Tabby : April 29th, 2020-10:59
Here's a 39mm on me, fits well. I would consider the 37 for you, if you go with Kari. The Rexhep is perfect, of course. Haven't tried it, but you just know... ...
Yes I have tried many version of the Vingt 8
By: sham1 : April 29th, 2020-21:53
so not only would I have mine in 37mm but also in titanium as I prefer my watches light so that I can't feel them and they then become an extension of my wrist and part of me. Until a few years ago, Kari did not make his watches in titanium so when he sho...
Oh yeah!!!
By: Spangles - Dr. Tabby : April 30th, 2020-04:32
Sounds perfect.
Hey Smurfballs!

Did you violate the embargo?! You posted 10 minutes ahead of our Fearless Leader!
Aye! [nt]

I did like the twin 12-hour dials
By: Spangles - Dr. Tabby : April 28th, 2020-11:45
I understand why FPJ was responsive to people asking GMT functionality, but the symmetry was nice.
