The white on black date...
...was the first thing that leapt out of the photo.
If it was a 37-40 mm case that watch would be fantastic for a fat, ageing enthusiast whose birth year is roughly the same as the watch, but given its age it is probably 33-34mm, yes? Mrs pplater would grab that in a flash! Even so, one of those would be a perfect complement to the PP5127.
It is very difficult to find much information on the E329; do you intend to do one of your famous reviews of this watch?
Cheers,
pplater.
"Do I look fat in this watch?"...
There have been a couple of threads lately (on the JLC and Hublot fora, notably) discussing women who wear men's watches. Personally, the gender distinction has always been somewhat bemusing; great watch design is more often than not androgynous, such tha...
Ehehehe! I (heart) Mrs. Pplater! She knows how to keep her old man guessing!
Which of your beauties will she snag next, I wonder? So, I have resolved myself ONLY to marry a WIS. This way, my watches are my watches, and HIS watches are my watches too! Bwahahahaha! *pleased with myself* Daos
Spoken like a true Ivana... :-)

Love that watch!!!! very slimming!
Pplater... that watch is sensational. My wife usually sighs... shakes her head... it doesn't get much further than that. I guess I'm lucky.
well...
SFWIBW tends to like less unusual pieces then I do, she can't understand why I'd get a Freak or the mechanical appeal of RM and even my Journe took some time to gain acceptance. For everyday watches, a Rolex (no date, we agree on the dislike of the cyclop...
My wife likes
cash . I bought her GG mickey and Hermes watch. When I want to buy her Van Cleef, she said she wanted the cash instead. I guess she is smarter than me and try to save something for the children. cen@jkt

More than two decades of marriage clearly ...
... hasn't taught you enough! I could see that ending coming like a bad Hollywood movie plot. But I can't talk, because I have done similar things, and your heart was in the right place, if not your head. Having had the great pleasure of meeting Mrs. P, I...
It is even more difficult for me...
... since I own only a few true ladies' watches. I have awakened some appreciation in my dear husband, but have had no success in getting him to treat mechanical watches with more respect than a G shock. Every one that has become part of his daily rotatio...
Be grateful...
That she chose the slightly less valuable Peseux 260 based watch in the family! I'd take my losses for what they are and move on... My wife "shares" my VC Malte Squelette and appropriated for herself a nice AP skeleton pocket watch that I bought at auctio...
" Quiet, plain and very simple - just like her taste in husbands "
I didn't see you this way, pplater... But you made me smile, which is greatly appreciated. I have something for you. Here it is, something I've hidden for a good occasion, which has just arrived: Isn't it a Patekesque Jaeger LeCoultre? Well, to find one w...
That is remarkable!...
Beautiful, Amanico, beautiful. We must not show it to Mrs. pplater, but how soon can we find one? Cheers, pplater.
Heeerm... :)
It will take a certain time, indeed. Did you also notice the white on black date? It is white on black on " impair " days, which is a particularity of the E 329 ( its reference ). The bumper movement adds to its charm, and is also in stunning condition. I...

My wife and I love vintage VCs for the same reasons
We love the history and tradition of the Brand as well as the classic styling of their vintage offerings. That said, we look at the same watches quite differently. I look at the movements first, then look at the external appearance (dials, case, hands, et...
my wife loves her Nomos Tangomat
and it is certainly plain and simple. Would that be worth a try? Other than that she has a Reverso Duo (not Duetto - doesn't like diamonds on watches) and a vintage mechanical egg-shaped Hermes, and I have preordered the new steel Breguet Reine de Naples ...
I'm happily married my wife hate watches
;0) Cheers Damjan P.S. Not that she has some huge assortment though
There are those who say, Damjan...
... that 'happily married' is an oxymoron on a par with 'military intelligence'. Does Mrs Ares have nothing to say about your watches? Anything that is printable, anyway? Cheers, pplater.
Heeerm bis... :)
You don't know his beautiful " better half ". She indeed has no interest in watches, I can witness that, too. Best, Nicolas.
..worst thing is..
she's completely indifferent... I would like even to hear some f words regarding my addiction....nothing... I live with surrounded by quartz lovers and wife that patronizes my habit looking at that and that my name is Damian one could think I live in hell...
Nice watch, but ...
...I'm not sure that it is well suited to an arduous life. I recall reading that the Peseux movement on which it is based is somewhat delicate. I have owned a BeBa for a number of years and I'm not too convinced about it's water resistant properties or wh...
No significant other
But my mother and sister usually steal my watches. Once I started to panic when I noticed that my gold daytona was missing from its usual spot in the watch winder, i kept looking and thought that it had been stolen.. I called my sister to see if she knew ...
Well....
my wife is perfectly happy with her Explorer.... So my watches are safe... lol Cheers
All of them, pplater.
My better half has free access to any of my watches, with one or two exceptions (unreplaceable, sentimental watches). It all began when I fixed up a single crown Super Compressor Enicar....then she eyed off my Chopard...and my Favre Leuba...and an old div...
No misery here.
My wife has her own collection. Occasionally she decides to get into mine, but so far that has had primarily the effect of justifying purchases I probably never should have made. For example, she has made one of my vintage Rolexes pretty much her daily we...
