Small is beautiful.

 
 By: amanico : May 21st, 2013-02:56
This is the watch I will wear for the two or three next days. I just took it from the safe, and while playing with it at the bank, I was wondering why I didn't wear it more often. 32 mm is not that small! I love, deeply love the patina of the dial. Noot i...  

Nice, yes Nicolas but I find it a little small, you and I have....

very similar wrist size, I cannot see my wrist wearing anything smaller than 36mm! But that's just me. What is the purpose of the crown at 4 O'clock? Interesting watch indeed! Cheers and wear this "small is beautiful" in good health:) Francois

The crown at 4 is here to lock the bezel, my friend.

It is a matter of time before you fall for small watches, my friend... I will let you play with them... Best, Vlad.

Hahaha! We'll see, I remember the VC Hermes we saw....

 
 By: Sandgroper : May 21st, 2013-03:33
at Antonio, beautiful, really beautiful but too small for my wrist, at least that was my feeling back then. To lock the bezel? Interesting. Cheers my amigao:):) Francois

Yes, it is a Weems.

 
 By: amanico : May 21st, 2013-03:35
As for small watches, let me contaminate you... As a good Vlad I am. ;)

A Weems! I thought it was for Hermes! Anyhow probably....

too much Panadeine Forte in my system back then:):):) A+ Vlad/Drac Francois

Sorry! Gees! As you can see I am still walking beside....

An interesting idea : what is big, what is small ? Is it really only the absolute diameter - naahh, there is likeley more to that and I'll try to explain my point, maybe a bit naive, but I guess you will quickly realize what is meant.. 1/ the limitation i...

Well, you know my love for the 2 others. Happy to see R wearing this 159 with so much pleasure. So, it is not your watch anymore, I guess. ;) Best, my friend. Nicolas

Yes, the 159 is now completely with R.. She just loves it .. ;)

 
 By: hs111 : May 21st, 2013-21:57
She very much enjoys wearing her - that's when I can enjoy the 159 as well. So no more mine, but that's fine.. ;) Indeed, the little 2- tome Omega bumper, yi gave some time, snd I started to wear it with invresing pleasure . A little treasure :) Thx for y...

Guess I have to talk again to Dr Mamadu.. But a "regular" 159 would be nice as well, if the other is unreachable You are a mind reader, I always knew, So again: a bit of patience for the patient.. ;) Best, hs

 By: amanico : May 22nd, 2013-11:55
The Vacheron are related to JLC, somewhat. Especially your Chronometre Royal, my friend. Not that OT... As for the Patek Chronos, I forgive you, especially with bthe SS one. Best, nicolas

I have a certain weakness for Beauty, whatever is the signature on the dial. ;)

I am always amazed how deep your pockets are ; with you ( and Nico) it appears always more the questions, Which one you have NOT got, rather than which one there is ! ;) Chapeau to both of you ! Always best, hs

I think we'll all agree here.

A certificate for this watch. I already asked... Too bad! Best, Nicolas.

honestly....

 
 By: Ilja : May 24th, 2013-12:52
Will JLC give a statement for the caliber 463?! No they won't - but already did in the past. ;) Did they tell what happend to the P478bwSbr found in plated 37mm cases like the one Dowling bought off me? No! It is a legit product and the Artcurial auction ... 

The Artcurial auction is a proof? See Clavi's thoughts on that auction, and on some

Watches which were auctionned there, as well as my observations... This evidence is very relative. Nonetheless, which disturbed the JLC Heritage Gallery was to see a movement from the late 50ies in a case from the mid 60ies. But I have the feeling and the...

We totally agree on the results of the Artcurial auction.

Which are not representative. I also agree on the fact that it would be a curious coincidence if the watch in question was not correct, unless we are in the case of these pseudo " Type XX " CMT Chronos coming from Germany. There are more than once, and we...

 By: Ilja : May 25th, 2013-08:30
Actually I'm coming from the good old days, so fakes are no issue for me. I guess one day I'll write a short-story book about what really happend in the watch market, including the confidential stuff I got by accident from JLC. Muahaha. Take your AM 6b/15...
