How can I disagree with such a Trio? Wow!
This Gran Sport Chrono is just obsessing me, lastly...
Best,

Valentine's day surprise ...
Team,
As a clear demonstration that we, even if we live forever, will not understand completely the tastes of a woman, here is a short and true story.
I was hunting a Jaeger Lecoultre e861 for some time.
A seller made an offer to me, it had a perfect dial, got it and I need return it because of a movement problem.
Months later, he redo the offer stating that he got the offending part and that my watchmaker could fix it in no time.
Got it again and my watchmaker did his magic and delivered the watch in shape.
The strap was original but not is proper conditions but I had another original JLC strap that fits the watch perfectly.
All set, put the watch on my wrist and my wife made the final comment: "Gorgeous, fits me better!" and strapped on her wrist.
When, as a last attempt, mention that the watch was a "bumper", she said: "I love this tuh, tuh (the bumper noise)".
Gone! I never imagine that a vintage watch could cause a so strong impression on her.
That night went to dinner with a friend couple and she was all proud with the E861 on her wrist.
Here is the E861, with the few seconds that I could borrow from her:
Proudly on her wrist:
Another angle. Notice the perfect aged lume dots.
In B&W is cool.
Since It takes two to tango, here is the watch that I'm wearing today. IWC Inge:
A great weekend to all (here will be Carnaval!!!).
Cheers,
Nilo

Nilo, your wife has an excellent taste in watches! :)
That is such a lovely watch!
But please, please ask her not to wear a metal link next to the watch!
The link will kill the satin brushed case in no time....
Here is mine greeting hers!

About the metal links ...
I told to her many times but ... Yes, dear.
Cheers,
Nilo
Ok, here's the scenario: one day, when you're rummaging thru the flea market . . .
. . . you find a PAF Railmaster, box and papers, for a song. Your watchmaker confirms it's in perfect condition, and Nicolas goes crazy with jealousy.
Then, Mrs N says, "Gorgeous, fits me better!"
What do you do?
I always have the final words ...
Yes, dear.
In fact, before the JLC there was the Omega Museum, a Longines LLD (here she crossed the 40mm mark).
Cheers,
Nilo
On my wrists... Well...It HAS to be THAT!
For the Valentine day, it has to be that!
Have a great week end.
Nicolas
My friend, I thought yours was without the red fussy stuff....! ;) [nt]

Only for Valentine Day. The rest of the week, no fussy red stuff. Steel, hard steel only. [nt]
