A very fine dress watch duo
Neither of these two watches attracts the limelight. And yet... there's so much to love about them...
- Glashütte Original Sixties in rose gold, ref. 1-39-52-01-01-04 - Domed silver galvanized dial - Case size: 39 x 9.4 mm - Automatic caliber 39-52, 21-carat gold oscillation weight, 40h power reserve.
- Blancpain Villeret Quantième Complet Demi-Savonnette in rose gold, ref. 6664 3642 55B - Stamped flinqué opaline dial - Case size: 40 x 11.75 mm - Automatic caliber 6654.4, 72h power reserve
Of course, a few details aren't to my taste (the automatic movement, the signed counterweight of the Villeret seconds hand, the stamped dial instead of a guilloché one, etc.).
But aesthetically, I really like the style of each one.
And you?
Best, Emmanuel

Both nice dress watches…
On the Glashutte I love the font although not sure I like this version of it. The Blancpain, as I’ve mentioned before I don’t like day and month on a watch at all. So although nice watches for other people, not for me.
I understand how you feel.
I’m not in the market for either, but I think the Sixties is a wonderful proposition. I like this version and the price makes sense. It does a little less with the BP, imo. Best, Emmanuel
While I like the Blancpain
for a nondescript dress watch I would opt for the GO, under the radar not not an attention getter, although some guys probably prefer an attention getter. Not me, and not for a dress watch. The Blancpain is very nice.
My preference goes to the GO as well.
I like the BP but the price doesn’t completely makes sense for me. Whereas it does for the GO. Best, Emmanuel
Both have their allure, quattro.
Might have stomped the brakes on the tail of the Villeret seconds hand...
I surely don’t like this counterweight.
And the GO makes more sense as far a price is concerned. And I like the 60s design very much in this particular very classic rose gold/silver dial version. Best, Emmanuel
