Paying Hommage

Hi Guys, this is my first post here.. For me, it has actually been love at first sight with Carlos Diaz's earlier works - marveled his art deco styling (also loved what he did while at Franck Muller). Hence in 2001/2, I braved myself to take the plunge an...  

Few shots of Golden Square..

In its most basic iteration - nice and simple, a great daily wear. ...  

Lot's of vintage RD love here, LOL!

I only own 6 watches, and 50% of those are "old school" Dubuis :) I agree with you, the Golden Square is a great daily wear, so good I needed a second! BTW - very nice collection from the glimpse I see of some of the others in that box of yours. Best, Nic...  

Awesome!

Your First (WG Bi-Retrographe ), and Fifth (WG GS Perp.) - in exact color combos, were pieces that I once lusted for.. Thanks for bringing back those memories!

Was there a connection between Franck Muller and Roger Dubuis at one point? This Homage looks strikingly similar to my Franck Muller 7000cc-- my first non rolex decent watch.... thought the 39mm was huge when I bought it back in 1999-- man, how things cha...  

..and just as beautiful!

Carlos Diaz was head designer at F.Muller before he co-founded R.Dubuis in '99, or so I was told then (pls correct if wrong). Thus the obvious bridging of genes between the two - design wise at least. Agree with the size thing, it's getting ridiculously l... 

..definitely, Another Stunning Beauty!

Thanks guys for the great wrist shots! These will kinda help elicit my old love for old school RDs.. A good time/price too for hunting down some of those unique pieces. Regardless, to me they are still one of the best and ingeniously designed watches avai...
