The 'Paul Newman' next to the 'Sun King'
When I look at these watches they make me go GAGA LOL.

4 aces, René.
4 Beauties, indeed. I slowly begin to change my mind about the Vintage Dayto. Funny but some years ago, I didn't pay attention to them. Now, I begin to fall under the charm...A bit too late, it seems. Best, and thanks for sharing your 4 Babies Nicolas
