No more perpetuals for me, I'm afraid . . .

I haven't had the pleasure of experiencing this one in the metal yet, but my instincts say this will be the next G O in my collection, barring an 1845 Karree small-seconds. The original version was in contention for my collection when I was accumulating Karrees, but the occlusion of the reserve indicator into the chapter ring was a hindrance - not an overwhelming one, but just enough that I passed over two samples, one of the limited edition platinum models and an equally rare grey dial version on a seven-link bracelet.
When the virtues of a GUB manual winding movement in conjunction with the eminently elegant appearance of the dial are considered, this one comes off as a watch to own for the long run.
Cordially,
Art

It is simply splendid.
Not much to add a real dream watch. I think I like the white dial best. Regards, George
The silver dial s/steel...

Gorgeous. I hope a red dot is in my future.
The steel model looks great in both dials.
Which version appeals most to you, Richard? . . .
. . . Joseph and Sidney are veering towards white, which has long been the standard dial color for G O Senator perpetuals. Black dials have always been rather special; I believe this is the first time that a black dial has been offered in stainless steel ...
I think we should start a pool...
.... the object of which would be to guess how long it takes Art to pick one of these up.

Ah, good choice.
As you may recall I was back and forth over the PML or the panoreserve so I can certainly see the allure of the piece. To be honest I had wondered if you might also be contemplating that resurrected panograph. I've my eye on that one, should a stainless v...
My respect and affection for the cal 61 . . .
. . . are unqualified, but I'm strictly a "one-or-none" guy when it comes to chronos. After making a substantial commitment to an El Primero last year, chronographs are pretty much off limits. Practically every watch on my current wish-list is a simple th...
by far the most readable PC
This is by far the most good looking and readable PC in the entire market place. The swiss should learn something from the german's ! Waiting for it to appear at the AD's. Am told most likely in June. Thanks Dr No for the wonderful pictures.
