The high-polish finish and multiple planes of the design make this deceivingly simple watch a theatre of light. Like the earliest tanks, this more contemporary version features a convex sapphire crystal. The crown bears a marked resemblance to the Tank Americaine, an elongated and more streamlined v

I am sure it will be brought back as well, hopefully for the 100th anniversary of its creation! I would enjoy seeing it in a slightly larger case size - perhaps around the size of the medium Tank Francaise (which I also own and love), or even the large model. I really do hope it is not only offered

It would really be great if they revived the classically sized tanks.

Were the crown gems on the les must vermeil line also synthetic

Hey all, I recently bought a pre-owned Girard Perregaux Vintage 1945 ref. 2593 off of the bay, that was listed as in good condition. When I received the watch it was running about 5 minutes fast PER HOUR! I have encountered watches running slightly slow or slightly fast but never like this! Do you k

For confirming I can order through HS NY. I have had trouble with ordering official parts for watches before (with rolex) so I wanted to know if this was the case with patek as well.

Hello fellow Purists, I recently decided to switch my bracelet watch to a leather strap, and ordered a strap and buckle through the Henri Stern Watch Agency over the phone. However I later realized that the spring bars for my bracelet were not compatible with a strap, and I am currently using generi
