Gorgeous dial 🤩! I can't imagine how well it plays in the light with those groves on the dial. Cheers Paul.

Oh ya man. It’s an insane dial. Hard to capture sometimes too. Have a great Friday Danilo!

Outstanding Paul. I'm heading to look at those and a couple of other watches today. Maybe it's time.

Oh ya!!! I’ll be interested to see what ya think! And make sure to take them out into the natural sunlight if possible. They look so much better with natural lighting over that artificial interior light! Cheers Craig!

Wil do, thanks for heads up. I'm excited I'm not planning on buying today but they have a couple pre-owned watches that I'm intrigued with that are pretty hard to find in person. I'm going to try them on for reference and see if I really like them.

Can’t wait to see what you think of them. I really hope you get to see some rare models. It’s always nice seeing a unique piece. Have a good weekend my friend.

Paul I got a good look at a bunch of watches today. They wouldn't let me take any watches out side because it was raining. But a saw a ton of GSs for a 10th time. They are definitely quality and I really do need to buy one. I got stuck drooling at the GO area and was contemplating a blue seventies chrono. Man I love that watch on a bracelet. But the VC Quai De L'ile in titanium and the Parmigiani Kalpa Tonda in gold were the reason for the trip. Both were outstanding. But the VC was next level. I amazed myself and didn't buy a thing but I'm thinking about it.

I hate it when the weather dampens the intended game plan. Did I mention to you that I saw a 70’s Chrono with that blue dial a couple weeks ago and I liked it as well. It has so many functions built in it’s kinda crazy. It was just a tad thick for me now that I’m so used to the Daytona. If I didn’t own a Daytona, I wouldn’t bought that watch a couple weeks ago. It’s that good. I don’t blame you at all for drooling over that piece, especially on the bracelet! I’ve been drooling over Parmigiani Fleurier lately as well and I just need to get hands on with some. I’m a wee bit jealous that you got to play with a VC and Parmigiani today! Good job keeping your wallet safe today mate. Have a wonderful weekend Craig.

You’re so right. Even today, I went out and took some more pictures with it and depending on the lighting, the texture you get from the dial can be either flat or a little more elevated like you see in this picture. I’ll may post those pictures in a bit… Cheers David!

It’s attractive but does not attract attention. This is not the one that smacks home runs out of the park every night, but it will get you on base every single time. This is not your temperamental Ferrari supercar, but your well-mannered Mercedes. This is not the one night stand — this is the one you marry.
