[wear rare airs]

I don't dislike manual winding watches at all, just for convenience that I prefer automatic since I can put it in a winder if I have a handful f watches on rotation.



I still dream of a VC Patrimony Traditionnelle Small Seconds, was close to buying one too but decided that sport watches would get more wear.

Would love a JLC Reverso Ultra Thin 1931 as well.

Do you mean BNIB or new as in ceramic model but preowned?

[flyknitlvr]

That video never gets old

It's also insane to me that he still has ALL the paperwork after 55 years. Real talk I don't even know where the box to my GMT I bought in November is

 

[macbk]

"If you would have told me $1,500 I would have been happy"

What a come up

 

[$tatus $ymbol]

Pops kept the hang tag & all. That's def incredible. I'd be that guy though, never throw away anything from my good purchases.

 

[rfx45]

I'm such a packrat/hoarder when it comes to all the accessories and paperworks and boxes, I just feel like I have to keep them all and not just on watches. I can't even get myself to throw away old shoes boxes even when the shoes are all beat and trashed

Grail hunt roadmap derailed. Pulled the trigger on this the other night. Just had to tempt fate by visiting a boutique that had it in stock and offered me a great deal for it.

Thanks. Yeah, barely fit on my wrist. Took me a few visits to the AD to get used to the size. The 46mm case diameter was fine, but the 56mm lug-to-lug really is the hurdle. It's a huge timepiece, but it wears well.

Now, back to convincing myself that I can rock sub-38mm dress watches...

 

[rfx45]

it just mean you need these as a dress watch...
