Thanks!
There is a world beyond rare handcraft pieces I promised 😅
Even though I must confess that you are a dangerous enabler; or to speak using the language of mathematics,
P (moving towards rare handcrafts / reading your forum) is definitely higher than it was before 🤣

Love it. This fine grained platinum dial and the overall package. So stealth yet so good.
I'm sure the weight of the platinum on the wrist is an added joy.
Indeed
Yes, the weight is perfect. Reminder that you have it without being overbearing. Also having switched the strap from blue to brown make it even more stealth! J
Thanks!

Many thanks Jerome, I'm not entirely sure if my forum is to "thank" or to "blame" for the popularity of Rare Handcrafts....but I genuinely appreciate it! ;-)))
Seriously, I did notice your interest recently, and (needless to say) it would be *amazing* if one day you decided to add a RH to your terrific collection! Cheers my friend.
Not sure with this dial color but in general white metals are strap friendly! I can get away with almost any color on my RG traditionnelle so don’t be afraid to try a color you feel like trying…nothing specific comes to mind but…

Thanks all for your kind comments
Very much in honeymoon phase here; time only watch reduced to the max, weighty presence of platinum in a stealthy guise, the discrete “twinkling” of dial, a great movement, and a relative rarity … 🥰 Will continue to experiment with straps (following the l...
Pure understated elegance
Dear Jerome, I like you taste for VC watches and you seem to pair them with style. thank you for sharing. I am considering trading-in a Historiques 1921 36,5mm in WG for the Traditionnelle Excellence Platine. Would you share your insights on that? Thanks
Some random thoughts
First of all, great to be in a position to chose between what are definitively two very nice VCs. Some random thoughts from my side: 1/ the traditionelle is a very understated watch which shines with its finishing, movement, timelessness and still manage ...
Great insights
Thank you for your ithoughts, Jerôme I was leaning towards the Excellence Platine watch when I saw it, but the added hurdle dealing with the trade-in and the fact that I had my 1921 new with nice memories associated with the experience, made me further ap...
Great to hear
Fully agree with you that the memories made with the watches are as important as the machines themselves Hope you can soon fulfill your quest with the 222! Cheers, Jerome
