Yeah I recently bought an
Iwc pilot chrono, it’s thick but doesn’t bother me at all, actually these days it became my daily as I like to use the chrono application for timing everything or even sometimes using the chrono seconds hand as intended in the PF minute rattrapante as a reminder to see how many minutes I have. Every style has its place I guess…
Stumbled across this Alpine Eagle at the Rolex 24 Daytona a few weeks ago
Quite nice, in person. ...
Yes, even if I don’t wear my grey dial example
very often, it has a charm of its own. Best, Emmanuel ...
I prefer your gray dial, quite a bit, actually.
You should find more time to wear that beauty!
It’s only when I saw the grey dial for the first time
and tried it on that I really warmed up to this watch… I’ll try to give it more wrist time (i.e. not during summer). Best, Emmanuel
I meant that I wear it only during summer,
so I'll try to wear it also “not during summer”...
Very likeable
I wear a lot of blue and I have come to appreciate grey & silver more over time. Completely different categories but it's why I like my U50DS and Searambler so much.
I'm not sure if it is the "regular" blue dial or not
I am not an expert on the product line and dial offerings. But it looked very nice.
Since you have the PF Minute Repeater,
which wpuld you choose between the Alpine Eagle and the PF? I’m considering getting a PF that’s why I wanted to get your opinion which I highly regard.
Parmigiani, a million times over in this case.
The feel on the wrist is different, and better with the PF. But more alluring is the utter purity of the Minute Rattrapante's dial and "hidden" complication. I in fact had the salmon dial Chopard XPS reserved, but after receiving the PF MR, I passed on it...
Thank you for answering, you cleared
quite a lot of doubts in my mind. I tried the minute rattrapante in Japan, but I’m going to try the tonda no date, these days having a thin classy watch appeals to me and 7.8mm of height looks very good on paper, hope it works on my wrist too, we’ll see. ...
Sounds like a great plan. Keep us posted!
I can tell you, over 2 years now with my Minute Rattrapante and the bracelet is my favorite.
Yep I know,
your posts have been an important reason to consider the watch, I was just not getting over the fact that it didn’t have a running seconds hand which I use in my day to day life, but maybe a very thin and not sporty bracelet watch a la vacheron 222 doesn’...
Glad if it has been some help. As I get older, I find myself really drawing closer toward simplicity.
A pure watch dial, with minimal information, has proven to be very enjoyable for me. Case thickness too, I start to appreciate thinner cases more (says the guy who loves AP Offshores and other thick, hockey puck type pieces!).
