🤩🤩🤩 Love the 175th references
Wow!! All three versions of the 175th 5975 references!! Love all the LE references as well. Definitely a rare event… thanks for sharing!!
Hello 👋 all, A GTG with a theme of anniversary pieces and again I contributed the
least and had the maximum enjoyment ! 😃 Can you name all of them ? Had some real heavy weight 💪pieces in terms of heft and value. If you need to pick one only, which one would it be and why ? For me, it would be the 5711P 40th anniversary because of the l...
Great gathering!
I think LV watch trunk is prerequisite for your GTG 😁 my favorite is the WT moonphase, perfect amount of whimsy. Surprised no millennium gondolo
Good choice with the 5575 WT moonphase ! Yes, we did have the millennium gondolo/manta ray (5100) present at the GTG but it was excluded after much deliberation because
the reference was a limited edition for the turn of the century and not to celebrate an "anniversary".
I would go with the Wempe special annual
Always liked that reference, and not easy to find anymore As for the rest, you leave many of us speechless with such a collection!
Hi VinneD, you have a sharp eye !
The Wempe sign is very discrete and for me with the watch in the metal I really had to look hard to find it.
Good choice and trust that you have a sizable wrist for it !
With my small wrist, I had to be very careful when wearing them because they could easily slip off as the bracelets were sized to owners with big wrists.
Thanks ! The sweet 16 anniversary pieces were an
accumulation from different collectors.
Perhaps the nicest collection I’ve seen on this site.
Congratulations and wear it in good health!
I'd go regulator because, even though...
...they are not my favorite, I've always like this one. Plus you'll never see another one : ) But I do have issue with the logo, which should have been above and not below...
Thanks for chiming in !
Which reference are you referring to in terms of "regulator" for an anniversary piece ?
My mistake...
...I should have said 'jumping hour.' This style of 'one-handed' watch is very appealing and much easier to read for me than a traditional regulator.
Thanks for clarifying ! I thought I was
senile and forgot about having the regulator !
Gordon - Another great GTG that you have put together. Because of your efforts and contacts these GTGs have become an important staple of the Forum.
It is invariably informative and a great pleasure to see all the wonderful watches illustrated in each of these theme based GTGs. I always look forward to reading about and seeing images of the next GTG. So … great work you are doing! As far as my favorit...
Thank you Patekova for your kind words and support ! I really appreciate it ! Sharing is caring !
5975P is a great choice as this complication will not reappear.
Great collection. My choice would be 5975P ...
... as thin as automatic chronographs come and a versatile instrument for measuring distance, speed, and heart beat. A true tool watch if they had made it in steel. Most will pass for lack of subregisters but I am increasingly fond of the 5975. In the abs...
5975 is a very interesting reference with its complications ! A steel version would
have made collectors CRAZY !
Gorgeous GTG, Gordon.
Wish I could have joined with my 6007A. Regrettably being engaged by work on that night..... ...
yes Henry, wish you were with us for the GTG ! After much deliberation, we decided to exclude
6007, which another big collector had at our GTG, would not count as an "anniversary" piece. :-(
A wonderful gathering with super desirable pieces as usual.
My favorite piece will be the 5976 although it is not easy to carry given the size and heft of the watch but you seem to carry it (them) ok on your wrists :P .
