Wrist time this week
Jul 27, 2017,10:52 AM
Dear Baron this has been waiting for yesterday so I did not have to wind round the date, being not a quick-date change calibre. This one always smiles at me when worn. I have owned it since 1973 although it was a work colleague's from 1960's on his 21st birthday. I would not have let it go! Manufacturer refurbished it several years ago so I have no worries about wearing this watch now although my others also command attention, as we all know!
Best

You know that in our "business" there's only one answer... both 😉 And one of the main examples is the Breguet La Tradition in my opinion. By the way, I wish you a great 10K milestone in advance 🙏😉 Best wishes Alkiro ...

Possible my favourite in your collection!

Was close to go for it when it was released, but by some reason I didn't.... Now many years later, I realize that was wrong. Best Blomman

I was going to post a 20 year old GP and then thought that that was really in no-man's-land. A tip: don't trust anything you hear in Boston.

Otherwise, stones would have been there! This background is a "Blue Zagreb" pattern! Best Blomman

Well played.

Please note that MikeH agrees you are a "Vlad". No longer can you deny it.
With respect to MikeH....

I was more navigator than Vlad'r. In fact, Vlad is never my persona. I just provide a light and navigation

You are very modest, my friend.
By: TheMadDruid : July 28th, 2017-06:20
I have a picture in my mind of a dimly-lit room, a small table with candle, wine, red meat, moist brick walls, a dampness in the air, a certain murkiness in the atmosphere, and a 5370 on the wrist of a Count and a prospective victim. Vlad-like conditions ...

...I love the dial design, really superb piece ! What is the size ? 34 mm probably as it was the men's size at that period ? I really like that one, very nice catch ! HAGWE too 😉 Mike
Thank you !
By: i_am_Sam : July 28th, 2017-01:15
It has 37.5mm case diameter with 26.5 SOB T2 movement, i think from late 30s or early 40s. Best, Sam
Well... not really...

I've always like the simple vintage Calatrava style and chronograph, but only recently that I get my hands on them. Hope everything is well Joe and have a great weekend Sam
Fantastic!

Congrats, looks stunning! Best Blomman
Modern all the way
By: Harry2 : July 27th, 2017-20:31
I like old designs that have been updated for today. The designs of the last century were excellent. However, I want a thoroughly modern watch, I'm just not sure which one yet. ...
neo-vintage for me...

Well.....

Howdy and thank you

It's pretty old school, even by Minerva standards pre sale to Montblanc. Still loving it after all these years. Best, Horo

You did not.
