Good one! But I’m very sorry for your thumb! This photo is an advertisement for automatic calibers! 😅 Best, Emmanuel
My annual calendar takes until forever. With manual winds I am definitely paying more attending to the crown shapes!
and also a Patek with that same movement. I was quite sure it wasn't either one of those!
.....About 12-13 years later it was the digital Casio, which in mid-1990s followed with quartz TAG. My first automatic was in 2000 which was a two-tone Serti Submariner. After that it was all automatics for about 20 years and the lovely manual wind watches did not enter the collection until about 5 years ago. Frankly.... originally I did not care for them I thought they were just too old-fashioned and cumbersome.... but now I absolutely love them 😎
