Black is Beautiful . . . . . .

I've always like moonphases on a watch.  But moonphase with a big date is especially appealling because I have a real hard time reading the dates on majority of watches.  I've been eyeing this model for a long time, and when this one came up within my price range, I jumped on it.  I as literally jumping for joy. The moon stands out really well only if the angle if right.  Turn the watch a bit, and the moonphase almost disappears.  But I can live with that.  Been wearing this one a lot the last few months.

The next one was an impulse purchase.  I didn't know anything about ref 2498 until I read Nilo's post about his GP 2498.  I fell in love with the guilloche dial  and started the quest for one.  This was one short quest.   My watch repair guy wanted to show me a special watch, so I stopped by a couple of wees ago.  He just finished servicing a GP 2498 and wanted me to see the intricate lines on the dial.  Needless to say, I was smitten and asked him to see if the owner would sell.  Everything came together, and this kid is one happy camper.

Hope everyone enjoys viewing these pictures.
