Omega Aqua Terra 2503.33
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 I wouldn't mind an annual calendar.
Whats your favorite simple three hand watch
If you had to pick your favorite three hand watch what would it be? It could one you own or admire. Post pics if u can.
I appreciate the reverence shown.
Thank you the King says to His loyal subject! Stephen
Simplicity is the Ultimate Sophistication
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...
Thank you, Eloise!
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! ...
I've been on a Rolex Explorer kick latley
For some unknown reason I've been digging the Rolex Explorer lately which is weird because, I like other models more.
A slight variation.
For me it would be my Sub and my Milgauss GV. Both easy to wear on all occasions. Best regards, George

Here's hoping . . .
. . . it will be the Patek 5107P. I should know tomorrow, when it arrives, sight unseen. Park
Excellent choice!
The fact that you and I agree tells me that I have better taste than I thought... Best, Gary
Do you ever doubt my friend?
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
Nobody's perfect.
I made some big mistakes, too... I should have never let go the Reverso Platinum Nr 2, for example. Best, Nicolas.
That is one big mistake
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
Tough one
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.
Can't really decide....they are all beautiful....

Beautiful 3 handed watches Sam!
I really love that Lang & Heyne! Thanks for sharing your awesome collection! With great photography to match too! Stephen
What a brilliant collection you have there!
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!
Thank you for your kind words Tim :)
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
what a beautiful watch!
Your simplicity is gorgeous! and you take terrific pictures too.
whoppie...one on my grail list
always bring a smile to my face, followed by a pull in the heart.... best, Horo
That can't be a long list, Horo...
...there isn't much that isn't already in your watch box. Sorry: boxes. ;-) Cheers, pplater.
The list is always lengthy mate
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.
And then there is Seiden's corollary
...the greatest watch in the world is the one that is incoming! Best, Gary
Powerful essence!
Didn't know you had one mate! Is this the Pt version? Enjoy it always! Stephen
Naturally, Stephen...
..what else but platinum?? Now, to find a deep blue strap... Cheers, pplater.
And that is a good naturlich!
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...
37mm, Stephen...
(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
Oh baby!
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
It didn't pass un-noticed, Gary...
That was your big chance: a hood, a cudgel, a getaway tram... Cheers, pplater.
Well, it depends on the grammar, doesn't it?
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...
Yes, I'll second Stephen's motion, a good swap.
Love it, a far superior simple time only piece from my perspective! Cheers, Tim
(sigh)!
a photo of one would be wonderful--but both?! priceless thx for sharing! Jason
Ken, fabulous watches and photo
This answer is pretty easy for me. Richard Lange PLM, Simplicity, and Observatoire.....
Awesome duo my friend
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
When it comes to Observatoire...
.. 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
Absolutely gorgeous !
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
Something simple
My favorite 3 hands watch and picture of my favorite watch in the background....
Simple three hand watches are my favorites. . .
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...
gosh--a collection defined by elegance, simplicity, and refinement:)
thanks for sharing this collection! jason
WOW, Eloise! I'm really impressed, even if I would have changed one, only...
The 183, for a 232. For the rest, " Chapeau " as we say in France! Nicolas.
the PAM 232. . .
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
LOL, you're so true!
With pleasure, Eloise. Will be my great pleasure, my friend. Best, Nicolas.
The sublime Patek 2526 - is there anything else?
Simply beautiful! Felipe Jordao's pic and watch - this one with Breguet numerals. Wow! Andrew H...
One of the two basic watches ...
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
