"Small is beautiful"
So 32 mm is probably very small, but it is also VERY BEAUTIFUL ! And in this condition it is always a delight to see vintage pieces. Congrats on both of them my dear friend Mike
Thanks Mike
for the kind words. 32 may be small but it always depends on the overall watch design. This one works quite well.
Aesthetically speaking, I have a preference for the 7050. Its case shape, 3D golden triangle indexes (I love them a lot) and minute and hour hands are much more my cup of tea. Very nice
What's the case size difference between these both timepieces? The 8856 seems bigger but, may be, it's just an optical illusion. Thank you CC for sharing. Best wishes Alkiro
Slight difference
32..ish for the 7050 and 34 for the 8856, but the dial is bigger with a thinner bezel on the 8856. I could not choose a favourite between them, they both have their special charm.
32mm is a little bit small but I really love it. Nevertheless, I fully understand you when you say that you couldn't choose 😉
Thank you for the info. Best wishes Alkiro
The case of the 7050 sublime!
On my hunt list for sure! Also a manual Chronometer is something I need to add to my GP collection.... Stunning pair, my friend! Best Blomman
Thanks, my friend. And you're right, something you should hunt
on the other hand, you CANNOT complain
You and your GPs are always welcome!
and sure bring some of those Germans too Thanks. CC
