I owned this one, but....
...sold it because of the poor legability. There was no contrast between hands and dial and this drove me crazy. Well I guess a small improvement would change the situation.

I've reconsidered over the years
For many years I loved the Senator Rattrapante and thought it was underrated. With a slightly more experienced eye for design, I can revisit it today and say the dial has problems. The date window at 4 o'clock does not provide proper balance to the off-ce...
Always liked this piece...
but like a lot of the modern splits, heft is an issue. Patek 5959 still the dream...
It reminds me of the GO Panograph I used to own
In the early 2000s, I was enamored with GO Panograph after seeing the watch in pictures. I loved the big date implementation, the unique chrono minute counter, and most important of all, the exquisitely hand finished manual movement with column wheel. I a...
