For sure without a doubt, my King. Stephen...  

love it love it love it! J

Thank you the King says to His loyal subject! Stephen

Stephen, If ever a watch lived up to Leonardo da Vinci’s (& Apples) philosophy, “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication” it has to be your ALS (or the PP3939). The 3 favourites in my collection are my Favre Leuba Sea King I got at...

...this one: Best, Gary G...  

that's a beautiful watch, Gary!!

I had the opportunity to sit with Kari in his atelier while he showed me a variety of dials and inserted them into a RG case so I could see exactly what they looked like. At the end of the day, I'm really happy with the choices that he helped me to make! ...

have a good weekend....  

For some unknown reason I've been digging the Rolex Explorer lately which is weird because, I like other models more.

For me it would be my Sub and my Milgauss GV. Both easy to wear on all occasions. Best regards, George

I left & came back to this watch 3 times. The blue adds a casual touch combined w/ high water resistance & a simple case design w/ my fav, turned lugs. All save 1 of my watches are 3 handers. I just don't have a draw to high complications, though ...  

. . . it will be the Patek 5107P. I should know tomorrow, when it arrives, sight unseen. Park

What else ? but, on the other hand, maybe... regards, V....  

can you tell me what model it is? J

It's a vintage reverso, made in 1937, with a NOS dial. regards, V.

The fact that you and I agree tells me that I have better taste than I thought... Best, Gary

Have not seen that occur yet. Gary should be reassured, he has excellent taste even if he should never have let go of the RG Master Memovox. Best regards, George

I made some big mistakes, too... I should have never let go the Reverso Platinum Nr 2, for example. Best, Nicolas.

But, it is ok mon ami, always a better opportunity down the road for you! I have had encounters with this piece before, super nice! Enjoyed my few moments with it. Stephen

In terms of owned, Richard Lange platinum, it's perfect. Desired....Roger Smith Series 2, although it has a power reserve. Plus an Observatoire and a Simplicity.

first came to my mind Cheers D...

I really love that Lang & Heyne! Thanks for sharing your awesome collection! With great photography to match too! Stephen

Love all four of those...tough to pick a favorite though! Cheers, Tim P.S. I must also make mention of your superb photography, truly humbled seeing those pictures. Thank you for sharing them!

I would love to take credit, but the photos are actually taken by my good friend Ogyia, who posts in this forum occasionally... Rgds Sam

That's a really tough one [not!!] - Cheers, pplater....  

Your simplicity is gorgeous! and you take terrific pictures too.

always bring a smile to my face, followed by a pull in the heart.... best, Horo

...there isn't much that isn't already in your watch box. Sorry: boxes. ;-) Cheers, pplater.

Box or boxes....limited resources, unlimited wants. Best, Horo

That sounds like some arcane law of economics: "Regardless of economic capacity our horological wish lists always grow to exceed by a minimum factor of +1 our ability to acquire those on the list". Cheers, pplater.

Kevin´s habit - instead of law Oliver

...the greatest watch in the world is the one that is incoming! Best, Gary

Didn't know you had one mate! Is this the Pt version? Enjoy it always! Stephen

..what else but platinum?? Now, to find a deep blue strap... Cheers, pplater.

There are alot of blue straps out there, but not many Bleu straps! Happy hunting, although i could direct you to one very brilliant source! Btw, is yours 34 or 37 mm? Once again, my heart is out for you. And if it is possible, may i have a peek at the inn... 

(the 'railway track' on the 37 is on the outside of the dial; on the 34 it is inset). At risk of self-promotion, for the 'heart', click here: ahci.watchprosite.com Cheers, pplater

And a very superb article! Cheers Stephen

Must...have...Simplicity... (Hey -- my repeated use of a similar mantra for the Antiqua worked, so why not this one?) Splendid, splendid watch and photos! Best, Gary G

"Don't ask: don't get". Cheers, pplater.

...to improve my karma... Best, Gary

That was your big chance: a hood, a cudgel, a getaway tram... Cheers, pplater.

But for me it:s the one I traded my Patek for:...  

Ahhhh...to dream........

If the questioner wants "simple" watches that are "three handed" also, then your point is core But if questioner wants to see watches that are "simple three-handed" watches (i.e., they're "simple" simply by dint of the fact that they are "three handed") t...

And one in which i fully agree! Stephen

Love it, a far superior simple time only piece from my perspective! Cheers, Tim

You meant "simple look", right? Ken...  

a photo of one would be wonderful--but both?! priceless thx for sharing! Jason

Yeah, very nice combo, indeed!

This answer is pretty easy for me. Richard Lange PLM, Simplicity, and Observatoire.....

May i ask what version of metal is that Observatoire? I remembered reading it somewhere but would like to confirm? I think it's a piece unique? Thanks! Stephen

.. all examples are piece unique, more or less, as it was created by the owner's combination choices. This one in the photo is PT case and black dial is unique, I heard. Other than the case and dial, this example is a standard one Ken

Yes, i understand. Very nice then for this one! Thanks Ken! Platinum. Stephen This message has been edited by BluNotte on 2011-10-28 18:45:10

so I have four to share. I LOVE all of them but probably wear the ones on the ends the most. From L to R: Breguet 1775, VH classic (RG), Panerai 183g, Patek 3960g This message has been edited by eloise on 2011-10-28 10:15:45...  

thanks for sharing this collection! jason

The 183, for a 232. For the rest, " Chapeau " as we say in France! Nicolas.

has only 2 hands As you know, I'm a poor photographer armed w/just an iphone. One day in Paris, you can take pictures of them - and actually do the some justice

With pleasure, Eloise. Will be my great pleasure, my friend. Best, Nicolas.

1) Omega PO 42mm (I'm on a Omega phase -- go to write why some time in the future) and/or 2) Longines Legend DIver (no calendar, please) Nothing very complicated or expensive. Cheers, Nilo
