Last Piece of 2017: A Complicated Aquisition
There was one last package under the tree. "Open it," she said. The shape, size and weight of the box felt familiar, but "nah, she wouldn't dare." She did! A Carl F. Bucherer Chronograde? How did she know that was on my wish list? Anyway, here a few quick...
Funny you should mention that...
I've been trying to coax her into joining. She has a degree in English Literature (along with being a lawyer) and has inherited my watch obsession. We've discussed her coming onboard to help stir up discussion on ladies watches. She also attends watch eve...
Sounds great! A knowledgeable lady to stirs up ladies watch discussion.
Looking forward to the day.
Glad you like it! I can't wait to take some photos that do it justice.
IMO, exceptional value in a complicated piece.
Congratulations. Is this your second (or third) Bucherer?

Rare. I seldom see CF in forum let a lot in the wild in concrete jungle.
CF circular rotor really intrigue me. U are so fortunate that yr Mdm buy for you. Mine was asking me fr a rollie... looks like you have a great start to the year.
I actually wrote a story once on the CFB A1000 with peripheral rotor
and its Dynamic Shock Absorption system (DSA). It has a series of 3 assemblies that pivot around central posts with ceramic bearings. The peripheral rotor glides across these assemblies as if almost floating. I've assembled/disassembled the A1000 and it i...
A kidney?
You can’t be serious, I personnelly only left with 1 functioning kidney and taking tons of drug,better not joke about it. But will be interested if you write or drool me with pics of A1/2000 movement.
My apologies
My comment was not meant as a joke as much as expressing how much I hope this watch comes to fruition. I certainly didn’t mean to offend anyone or make light of the issue.
