Hi Mitch, it is not an invite because it is
an open invitation !
See you soon!
Another disappointing enamel theme after the goat ! UN needs to...
pick up its game and ask for advice from its customers like yours truly ! AD told me for the year of the goat, these watches were on consignment only because they did not want to buy them for inventory. Smart move because nobody has bought. Saw the Monkey...
Yes, individual taste for each motif. Although the craftsmanship is good for the monkey in terms of the details on the leaves, the dragon, snake and horses contain...
much more details and colors which made them a lot more difficult to produce
Couldn't agree more.
The dragon was captivating as is the snake. I can admire the horses as well. The goat and the monkey are not good in my opinion. They can obviously do cloissone well as evidenced in the ships and other motifs. Dave
+1 from me on that
The enamel animals theme has never appealed to me but I do appreciate the craftsmanship, etc Go for the "Stranger" or the "Hourstriker" My $0.02
Hi Mitch, I would think that a special enamel dial for me on the hour striker would ...
cost me an arm and a leg ! LOL! Thanks for the suggestion!
They do have an hourstrikers it's a blur enamel dial. I think you should contact Patrik and have him have a special cloisonné dial and plop it on the hourstriker. I'm
sure that it would not cost an arm and a leg. Maybe just a part of a leg.
I hear you Nicolas, and the key issue is that...
the total price for the three second hand chinese zodiac watches hardly makes a dent toward the jungle MR :-(
My favorite
is still the dragon and also the horse Yeah not so impressed with the Monkey to be honest Thanks Gordon for the pics ! Cheers Robin
Hi Robin the "horse", do remember that the snake is.....
very ferocious and colorful (which usually implies extremely poisonous ! ) LOL !
Agreed
If you play with enamel why not use color?!? Those snake, horse & dragon watches proof it. Particularly love that dragon! But maybe that\'s because I am one
Yes Arie, colorful enamel dials with many details = mesmerizing IMO Are you
tempted to get a dragon?
If I ever would go for a enamel colored watch
I would be leaning towards the Laurent Ferrier Enamel. Like this one but a EU version of course. If they will ever make one. ...
This LF is very nice and the enamel is likely...
made by Danze Cadran, UN\'s enamel factory. LOL! The Patek 5131G and 5131J have Europe in the map
the Patek hands are so small
and I don't like that. Also the names of all the cities make the dial very busy. It's just not my cup of tea (yet).
Of them all the snakes atheist eye catching. I must admit I was tempted but then Linda pointed out that I would still have a snake on my wrist and I
have a big thing about snakes. So alas I can only admire the piece from a distance.
