My understanding is it's a limited printing, Captain, so . . .

May I ask, is there a fair coverage of observatory chronometers in the book? In advance thank you for your reply. best Z'

I've just started reading, Z, but towards the end of the book . . .

. . . there's a chapter devoted to prototypes and observatory calibers. Best, Art

Thank you, Art.

Were you able to get on the list? . . .

 
 By: Dr No : June 6th, 2019-12:14
. . . there are only two hundred copies in this initial printing, and unsure if there's going to be another. Art

Dear Art,

Both on the book and on the watch. I recently saw this in a vintage watch shop in Mexico City Unfortunately the dial is a little stained. What do you think? Best. René ...  

Ref 2364, likely original dial, crown, and subseconds hand . . .

 
 By: Dr No : June 8th, 2019-21:51
. . . not sure about minute and hour, though. A clearer picture would help. Thinking about this one for yourself, René?

I can’t deny it called my attention Art

 
 By: renerod : June 9th, 2019-13:02
But I would prefer one in steel and with the correct hands of course. Best and thanks for your input. René

Thanks for confirming my initial thoughts, Erich. I'm away from home . . .

 
 By: Dr No : June 9th, 2019-09:51
. . . at the moment, and was going to consult your exhaustive book before making a final call. So much better to hear from the author directly! Gratefully, Art

Tanks Erich!

It is so good to have your opinion as well as Art’s! Real experts helping out. Wow! Best. René
