Sad to notice that this level of quality belongs to the past.

Nope you have managed to pick the best one this era

By: watch-guy.com : August 23rd, 2021-21:42

What I think, too.

By: amanico : August 24th, 2021-10:01

Superb front and back, a true vintage gem! ;-) Thanks for sharing.

By: FabR : August 23rd, 2021-21:57

My pleasure, Fab.

By: amanico : August 24th, 2021-10:01

The movement is superb! What case size is it?

By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : August 23rd, 2021-22:30

35 mm, but it wears a bit bigger.

By: amanico : August 24th, 2021-10:02

Ok thanks!

By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : August 24th, 2021-10:34

Trying it is adopting it.

By: amanico : August 24th, 2021-11:29

Pure PP DNA 👌👌👌

By: Mike H : August 23rd, 2021-22:32

Another missed train for me 😢😭😭

Alas, my friend, alas....

By: amanico : August 24th, 2021-10:02

One among so many others!

By: Mike H : August 24th, 2021-14:05

True, very true, my friend.

By: amanico : August 24th, 2021-16:25

An absolute pristine example of a superb watch. You are extremely lucky my friend to own this beautiful piece. Where it in good health

By: aperna : August 23rd, 2021-22:54

Alas, I don't own it, I am hunting it, but it left the train without me...

By: amanico : August 24th, 2021-10:02

Beautiful!!!

By: renerod : August 24th, 2021-00:15

This is a watch that has it all: elegant, wearable and also a tool! Please, any wrist shot? Best. René

No sadly no wrist shot, but wears like the other famous amagnetic watch, the cousin JLC Geophysic.

By: amanico : August 24th, 2021-10:03

Perfection! I love the case lugs!! Wishing you best of luck in getting one🤞🤞

By: hmd4m : August 24th, 2021-01:29

Merci, mon ami.

By: amanico : August 24th, 2021-10:03

If I were super nit-picky...

By: mdg : August 24th, 2021-01:35

...I'd say it could use a short marker at 6...

Yes, I missed that as well.

By: Pun : August 24th, 2021-02:31

It's otherwise an excellent watch, as I expect from his collection. 🥰

;)

By: amanico : August 24th, 2021-10:04

Wow, you really are! :)))

By: amanico : August 24th, 2021-10:04

Drop dead gorgeous

By: Gelato Monster : August 24th, 2021-02:41

I can only agree, here, my friend.

By: amanico : August 24th, 2021-10:04

This is a beautiful photo of a rare model

By: anaroku : August 24th, 2021-03:45

I can't take such a good picture like you

By: anaroku : August 24th, 2021-06:51

my 3417AM ...

Lucky you!

By: amanico : August 24th, 2021-10:05

Rare and very tough to find in correct and good condition.

By: amanico : August 24th, 2021-10:05

Oh yes 😍😍😍

By: Watcholic_id : August 24th, 2021-04:03

this is definitely Grail material! thanks for sharing the pics, Nico cheers

It is a thrilling pleasure, mon ami.

By: amanico : August 24th, 2021-10:06

Absolute classic.

By: Miles_151 : August 24th, 2021-06:05

Pure Patek DNA. A keeper for sure. M.

I totally agree with you.

By: amanico : August 24th, 2021-10:06

Wow, really fantastic, both the front and the back - love it!

By: ronhan : August 24th, 2021-07:23

Thanks for looking, Ron.

By: amanico : August 24th, 2021-10:06

Great hunt

By: Quan : August 24th, 2021-07:38

wrist shot please

Next time I fall on one, I will take a wrist shot.

By: amanico : August 24th, 2021-10:07

Good photos ! What

By: GLau : August 24th, 2021-13:34

do you like about this movement ?

The big balance wheel, the adjustments to different heats, the architecture, the decoration.

By: amanico : August 24th, 2021-16:26

This is one of my absolute favorites

By: Cozmopak : August 24th, 2021-17:34

Too bad that my wallet doesn’t agree

I am in the very same camp than you, my friend.

By: amanico : August 24th, 2021-17:36

No, not really

By: slungu : August 25th, 2021-11:37

At least not for the 12 lignes . Have a predecesor of this, the 12-120 in a ref. 96, but this is absolutely lovely, both in terms of watch and movement preservation. Otoh, I still dream of a 12-600 AT as the ultimate, over engineered watch from that time ...

Do you have a picture of the 12-600 AT?

By: amanico : August 25th, 2021-11:42

No, not yet ;)

By: slungu : August 25th, 2021-19:36

But I found this articlehere on WPS : www.watchprosite.com

Aaah, I see; now. I will always favor a manual winding movement, which I find more appealing.

By: amanico : August 25th, 2021-21:58

Wolf in sheep's clothing right there mon ami 😉🔥💥

By: holdemchamp1225 : August 27th, 2021-13:33

Nicely put!

By: amanico : August 27th, 2021-20:52

Knew you would agree 😜

By: holdemchamp1225 : August 29th, 2021-14:42

Definitely. ;)
