got to try this on at the AD today... good to look at from the front... a little too thick for me though

It does look pretty sexy though!

yeah... exposing itself 😂

That is very true ☺️

I liked it a lot when I discovered it last year.

I've always like the Minerva monopushers

By: terbaboom : February 21st, 2023-04:46

but somehow never pull the trigger as my list of desires with my AD is still unfulfilled 😅

You should. These are pure marvels.

i agree

By: terbaboom : February 21st, 2023-05:37

for now, i have to be content with taking wristshots of the different versions when they are available at my AD 😅

Which is a good start. ;)

By: amanico : February 21st, 2023-05:39

yup! thanks to my AD

Lucky you

Though a little too big for your wrist is my impression

you're right... my wrist is only 17cm

By: terbaboom : February 21st, 2023-04:47

didn't buy though

I find the dial too busy

By: andrea~ : February 19th, 2023-17:25

I'd rather own the smaller version with a solid dial

i see your point

By: terbaboom : February 21st, 2023-04:49

the view from the back has nothing blocking

Very sharp

By: TeutonicCarFan : February 19th, 2023-18:25

Nice to be able to see this movement always on display. I agree, I am not a fan of the lugs overlapping the wrist.

while it's nice, i guess some will prefer a clearer view without anything blocking

By: terbaboom : February 21st, 2023-04:54

I agree

By: TeutonicCarFan : February 21st, 2023-14:54

I chose the rear view, but then you can't see it in action while you activate/ deactivate while it's on your wrist ... I don't mind taking it off to view, however. ...

beautiful!

By: terbaboom : February 21st, 2023-15:34

Gorgeous!

Most watches these days are enormous...

By: mdg : February 22nd, 2023-01:59

...that's why I'd be very selective buying new. The vintage stuff is much better imho...

and probably at better value too...

By: terbaboom : February 24th, 2023-07:08

just need the knowledge and experience to buy the right one, which I'm lacking frankly

Yes, right but here, there is an explanation. The movement size.
