Piccolo 657 Posted June 21, 2017 Been flirting with this one for a while, couldn't decide between this and a VC Overseas, but then this came up at the right price so I went for it... Bought it blind but was fairly certain I'd like it enough to keep for at least a little while. It's a stunningly built watch, refined case size and nice mix of polished and brushed surfaces. Double AR which really helps to bring out the detailing on the dial. Always liked the Big Date complication and this one is really well finished. And then you turn it over.... 21k gold weighted, reduced size rotor so as not to hide the double swan neck regulator, stunningly constructed and finished. The deployant is also very impressive - super easy to use and very comfortable. Anyway - I like it so far, not sure that I'll keep it for ages, but you never know. Already got my eye on the VC again, along with a GS and a vintage DJ but hey, see what happens... Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LightGeek 25 Posted June 21, 2017 Very nice! The big date is the only reason I've kept away from the rep -- they're just not quite right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piccolo 657 Posted June 21, 2017 Very nice! The big date is the only reason I've kept away from the rep -- they're just not quite right. Thanks - I looked at the reps but they just didn't quite do it. Weirdly, the serial number is one number away from the serial on my Pelagos LHD. Small coincidence.

Piccolo 657 Posted June 22, 2017 Gorgeous. Tat, thongs, shorts and a Glashutte. Love it. :D Cheers! My watch, my rules... also it was 30 degrees here yesterday (which is a rarity) so anything more than shorts and flops would have been sweaty! Wow, that's lovely! And for a moment I thought you'd taken the caseback off! Cracking looking movement and a very interesting dial. Congrats! Haha - thanks..! The AR is pretty nuts on it - worth GO doing to show off how well it's made. Wow! I have been looking at these lately but a little out of my price range. Hope you enjoy it! Thanks! It's back on today - seeing how I go with it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 79 Posted June 22, 2017 That's beautiful - has much of the appeal of a Lange 1, but at a much more sensible price. Love it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks G, yeah I looked at a Lange but the Lumen that I want was only a 50 piece release and is a bit mad price wise! I would happily divest myself of all my reps for that... Might be up for Sale soon :D part ex with your GS?! That's lovely mate - you have some corkers in your collection! Thanks mate! I think I would wear that back to front stunning Check out the "PanoInverse" That's basically what they do... Proper watch Thanks mate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
