Macro Tuesday...
I know macro day is usually Monday but for a number of reasons I could not finish on time... Because the full moon comes in 2 days, that gave me a chance to shoot the most beautiful moonphase I have ever seen... It actually belongs to THE watch that has h...
Big...huge...enormous congrats dear Mike!!!
We'll always have Zagreb Truly happy for you!! Oh joy oh happiness Hope to see you soon with that jewel on your wrist Cheers D
Thank you my dear friend. Actually you could have had this chance if...
...if you would have confirmed for what you know . What a pitty when I think of what you will miss...
Joe... ;)
One of the most beautiful moon phase disc I know is certainly the one from the VC Chrono / QP. The one form the late 90's, early 2000's. ...
I cannot deny that VC moon is a marvel too, and even the watch itself is a really nice complicated watch but...
still not comparable in any way to such an incredible icon as a 3448 at least imho !
On this i am not uncertain.
But now I want to say some important things.... 1) Buying a watch is an intensely personal issue. The more I have collected, the more I have realised that whenever I put a watch that I own on my wrist, there should be a frisson of excitement and fun invol...
Thank you Joe, specially as you were the instigator of this vladisation since the very beginning and...
...I don't regret it one second Best, Mike
Great macro shot Mike
This 3448 looks in perfect condition, after about 50 y.o. Expect to discover the full photo and this INCREDIBLE piece of PP Haute Horlogerie in real. Huge congratulations and wear it in Best of Health. Cheers, Patrickh
Me too my friend, that was my wish, my absolute dream...
...until the dream comes true
This must be heaven! Because I can hear the angels sing... :)
Absolutely stunning! If yours, then I send you my warmest congratulations! Best, my friend Blomman
Hmm, so checking on some older photos
this 3448 is not Joe's 3448... Did you really? I mean talking about getting Vlad'ed, you have been Hyper-vlad'ed In that case, huge congratulations and I hope there were not too many victims in the process CC
naturally, i deny everything.......
.....and i would also say that "the occasional bite does not a Vlad make".
Yes I did it !!!!!!!!!
Totally completely absolutely vlad'ed with no hope to recover until I cure myself by getting it !
Congratulations on a dream fulfilled and a dream of a watch!! Also, I notice the pearl dot minute markers indicating that you now own the even more desirable, early [nt]
"more vintage" non-sapphire crystal version of 3448. Some vintage watches (albeit very few IMHO) are "timeless". Despite being decades old, the design and size of the 3448 make it forever beautiful by any standard. It must be an incredible feeling to see ...
Exactly ! I see you have sharp eyes...
These pearl dot minute markers are also an important detail for me. 1970 / 1971 was probably the pivotal period : until that date the minute markers were these nice pearl dots, after they were replaced by classical nicely painted small indexes. Thanks for...
Congratulations Mike......
I look forward to seeing the rest of your new beautiful Patek.
