Hi all, I rushed to the DHL office to pick up my Romaine Gauthier logical One today, I simply could not wait for the Monday delivery! I was not disappointed, maybe the first watch Iโ€™ve ever opened that caused a physical sensory reaction. Nothing like it, ...  

Wow! Congrats!

Canโ€™t take my eyes off of it, it has such 3D depth, like 6 levels deep...Jim

Having had the opportunity to examine a few of these I can appreciate your excitement. Just an amazing watch, loupe or no loupe.

 
 By: Jay (Eire) : March 8th, 2019-18:12
I'm somewhat jealous that you have the wrist to pull this off, for me this watch is just a mm or two too large.

Hi Jay

 
 By: GreatPilot@me.com : March 9th, 2019-07:40
Thanks for your kind words. My wrist is 6.75 inches and it fits great. Some would say the height at 14.2mm Is marginal but it is extremely well balanced overall but it is the only way to get the tremendous dept in the dial. Overall a very comfortable/bala... 

Much thanks...Jim [nt]

You're a lucky guy... Grail watches just changed like socks, LOL, from the 5170P to GL1 Lumen and now to this in such a short time...

and the 5976G is sitting on the side The RG is definitely a looker for sure, witnessed in SIHH. I can only drool...... Huge congratulations, any one of those dethroned grail is my grail, if you need someone to take care temporarily ...

 By: GreatPilot@me.com : March 9th, 2019-07:55
yes Iโ€™m a fortunate person (donโ€™t believe in luck). Iโ€™ve been accused of being a dog with a bone once I get my sightss on something. Recently the stars have lined up to get these watches, two of them in trades, so one has to jump when the opportunity pres... 

That's a great strategy, which makes our hard earned money more enjoyable...I'm going to learning the "trade" too...

Iโ€™m not an expert

But I was told this fuse and chain is really a snail and chain, it is different than any other and does not interrupt the accuracy...Jim

You are correct Jim...

 
 By: holdemchamp1225 : March 9th, 2019-08:59
it is indeed a snail and chain

What a great, wonderful, fascinating piece of art!

 By: SteveH : March 9th, 2019-12:52
This was my personal watch, which I sold to England, and now it has made its way all the way back to Southern California! Glad to see it found a good home. Enjoy it!

Hi Steve
