Opus 3 box
I was being offered a rose gold Harry Winston Opus 3 (Vianney Halter) but it comes only with a generic HW watch box. I wonder if any collectors here will help me out if it comes with a specially designed box? The owner got his watch from auction and he is no better informed than me.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Mike!
Thanks for digging up the old picture. I read most of Dr Bernard Chong's writing about this watch but I must have missed the older ones. Joseph
All the Opus... Opi?
Come with special boxes... so cooler than others! Of course it depends if you are going to wear the watch or wear the box ;) Good luck on your new purchase... look forward to seeing some pics if you follow through. Cheers Andrew
I wear the watch...
but I think it deserves its special home! However, one must act as you may never see it again. Thanks Andrew! Joseph ...
Hi swjoseph, opus 3 is an icon !!
good luck with your purchase and please send wrist shots !! Gordon
Thanks Gordon and indeed!
Please excuse for my crappy snap shot as my hand is still shaking, not the one holding the phone but the one with Opus on. ...
congrats swojseph !! very nice wrist shot !
Please send more photos and explain how to read the "dial" (not that time really matters when one wears this unique piece) what does the back looks like ?? Gordon
2 rows of numbers.
Top left and top right double as the digits for the hours. Bottom left and bottom right are the minutes. Second display is active only when counting down from 56 > 57 > 58 > 59 > 00 in every minutes and it borrow the top left porthole (tenth d...
"I hope you know what I've just typed."
Hi swjoseph, I think I understand, but given how beautiful your watch is, it does not really matter whether I truly know how to read time with the dial !! LOL :-) Cheers, Gordon
Congrats for this amazing piece...
...every time I look at this I felt very excited to see how the number jump every minutes! Great taste Jo!
Wow.....
We don't get to see many of those. In the world of independent horology, they don't get much more iconic than that one. Must be a lot of fun to put that one on each day. Thanks for posting these scans, and feel free to show the movement if you feel the ur...
Thanks Darren.
Indeed it feels very special just putting it on wrist. Surprisingly, it is easier to carry than many other Opus I've tried, due to its 'reasonable' size and flexible lugs. Will post some movement pic later but these isn't much visually going but adequatel...
The miracle watch!
This Opus 3 story is legendary in collector circles...and worthy of the legend. It would be difficult to pass up a mint example, if the deal made sense. Congratulations!
Thanks jmpTT
It was difficult to pass, tried to forget about it. And I ended up taking a same day return flight to Tokyo just to bring it home.
congrats!
that must be one exciting round flight~ luv the steampunk look:) cheers, Ed~
