Yes stupid & ugly

What if

...  

Oh yes. I remember seeing it in a magazine back then.

The chrono hands and the ice blue seconds looks so cool. But yes without the date window even prettier. Enjoy!

Here we are in agreement.

Yeah … nice one Gelato ☝️ 👍🏻

Could you make it a bi-compax with the Monte Carlo at 6 o’clock pls?

Which one 1 or 2 lines

 
 By: Gelato Monster : November 22nd, 2023-07:58
...  

1 line

Nice one ☝️ thanks ❤️

 
 By: SingaporeMarc : November 22nd, 2023-11:40
The text would be higher above the 6 o’clock but we get the idea. Appreciate it

I agree a bit higher. 1 line or which of the 2 lines?

 
 By: Gelato Monster : November 22nd, 2023-11:49
.Monte-Carlo 1973 Or 1973 Monte-Carlo ?

Now that I think about it … 2 lines

 
 By: SingaporeMarc : November 22nd, 2023-15:11
It will match the 2 lines above at 12 o’ clock Symmetry. Oh … and a massive date at 8 o’clock 🤣

Naaah...

Not convinced.

 
 By: amanico : November 23rd, 2023-05:23

What would you change to

 
 By: SingaporeMarc : November 23rd, 2023-08:24
make it more convincing?

Perfect 👍🏻

Remove monte carlo 1973 completely?

 
 By: Gelato Monster : November 25th, 2023-05:58

This one Master Vlad?

 
 By: Gelato Monster : November 26th, 2023-04:11
...  

Yes, much more my taste!

 
 By: amanico : November 26th, 2023-08:32

Nice but …

 
 By: SingaporeMarc : November 26th, 2023-10:10
The blank space at the bottom looks a bit peculiar for me. Perhaps it’s like seeing Magnum PI without his moustache… 😄

LOL!

 
 By: amanico : November 26th, 2023-17:28

Almost got one a few years ago

 
 By: Arronax : November 21st, 2023-07:53
If my memory serves me right it's a flyback!

From memory, yes.

 
 By: amanico : November 21st, 2023-08:15

Ha ha, the date hater … I can understand

 
 By: SingaporeMarc : November 21st, 2023-08:19
Thanks for sharing ☀️

As you can see, I tend to ignore setting

 
 By: SingaporeMarc : November 22nd, 2023-00:42

Alas yes.

Agree… neo vintage … baybbbeeee 🕺

 
 By: SingaporeMarc : November 22nd, 2023-00:46
Anyone considering getting a neo vintage GP ? If so, what ref are you thinking of?

Heeeeey yes! ;)

 
 By: amanico : November 23rd, 2023-05:24

Very nice!

 
 By: Aquaracer1 : November 21st, 2023-18:44
Agreed, even better without the date!

There has been a clear tendency

 
 By: Volney. : November 23rd, 2023-18:18
In the watch industry to destroy a nice design by adding a pompous or simply absurd detail, such as date window.

I have to agree, sadly.
