When less is more... Part I

Nov 18, 2018,19:24 PM
 

Some time ago I have decided that I should reduce the size of my collection. Not because I would have lost the passion of watches on the contrary but for limiting myself to the best I could find for each reference…

Those who have seen this Sub 5513 usually never forgot it… 

Its gilt patina is simply amazing, the lacquered dial is like a flawless mirror…




The riveted bracelet 7206 has a lot of charm even if it is said to be fragile…




The original bevels are not only sharp but also quite large as they were done at that time…




The super dome glass gives an incredible charm too…




I have this one since many years and I am still in love as in the first day smile.
I guess you understand why wink

Yes I know I am lucky (for the watch , for the health not so sure)

You know how to pick carefully and well!

Those of your watches that I had the pleasure to see gave proof of that. The state and the charm of this Submariner are obvious to the somewhat uninitiated like me too. Thank you for sharing this beauty with us! Best, Martin

Superb

A great gilt is only truly appreciated in the real. Very hard to justifiably capture in pictures and videos.... thanks for sharing yours! Looks superb!

One of the nicest I have ever seen [nt]

That is a vintage watch that I would like to have and even wear, considering that my oldest watch is a 10 y.o. Langematic. A watch that you do not need to treasure as it probably is indestructible. Wear it healthy Best, R

Thank you my friend !

Of course such a tool watch is made to be worn but such an old lady over 50 years old deserves respect and attention. Whether with cars or watches vintage pieces cannot be treated as new pieces . Cheers, Mike

Thanks Imran ! [nt]
