Backsides

Any among us may have admired a good backside (on any gender) now and then. Having a less-than-compelling one myself (trust me on this), I perhaps compensate by acquiring watches with interesting reverses. Mind you, I am no connoisseur of haute horlogerie

Piaget Polo 79 and Polo Skeleton - Expanded thoughts.

putting the "original" and the modern Polo side by side, i do see similarity in the shape of their cases NB: Moderator text update. The Piaget Polo from 1979 and the modern Piaget skeleton watch represent two distinct eras of luxury watchmaking, showcasin

I am not surprised that they are not happy! :-)

I always thought that since 2015 or 2016 all Patek sold had to be removed from their plastic seal before the client takes possession of it. I am therefore surprised that Sly's Grandmaster Chime remained in its original sealed plastic packaging. Patek shou

I just consulted Erich's reference work on Omega chronometers . . .

. . . which didn't include a ref 2364 with your dial. There's two vaguely similar in the section devoted to ref 2364, but with out punched markers and vacated minute track. There's scant doubt in my mind that the dial of your 2364 was produced contemporan

Well, I bought an Ed White a year ago . . .

. . . but still waiting for delivery. I've owned two Mk II Speedmasters in the past but both are long gone. This is the first Pro in my possession. Planning on visiting my watchmaker Friday to assess its performance; might not wear it 'til then.

Prime example as to why one should only buy watch/any luxury item well within one's means, as Tim Mosso often says. That way, if it disappears (regardless why), we are no worse off and...
