I would think it shilling if you talked this up and wanted to sell.
Next time you;re in SG, I need to introduce you to friend of mine or 2 who are hard core indies and do share your taste and own quite a few of what you have. They are low profile lurkers here and hardly post. You guys will have a blast talking indies.
Sweet Simplicity
OK, first of all -- just to be clear -- this is not my watch. So, no hate mail about my string of recent acquisitions, please (PPlater, this means you ). All right -- with that out of the way -- a few images of a very nice piece owned by a Gentleman Puris...
Hate mail??
God I would have thought that you were receiving fan mail. In any event, very nice watch your friand has. Best regards, George
Just kidding...
...although PPlater did threaten to remove me from his holiday card list if I bought the H1 tourbillon this week... Best, Gary
OK, no hate mail for you - this time...
...but please pass along the email address of the *#%!* gentleman Purist who had the foresight to specify such a beautiful combination! Great photos, Gary; thanks. Cheers, pplater.
Two more dial photos...
Perhaps perseverance pays off! And as long as I'm at it, a crop of an earlier shot: Best, Gary G...
beautiful pics as always :)
Unique quality on finishing aspect... the dial is another level of beauty and elegance. Thanks for sharing Gary. Faisal
Fun to see this one photographed well
This gray dial is probably much more rare than the silver dial. I always looked at the Simplicity as the ultimate purist watch (even before I knew of a site called thepurists... and so I reasoned that the dial should be silver--absolutely pure and utterly...
Gary, going but what you have shown in your collection on this site
I would think a Simplicity of sorts is a logical and good addition to your collection and from your point of view a must have?
An absolute necessity
You are correct! I don't think that it is shilling (mods please remove if so) to point out that I have a WTB post up for a RG 37mm Simplicity... Best, Gary

The collateral would definitely be needed!
Otherwise I'm sure you'll run away with that Simplicity in hand Gary!! Were you tempted even with the Antiqua in collateral? Gorgeous photos! The Simplicity is the holy grail for many, for a reason! The finish at the back is really unbeatable! Although I'...
Speaking from the photos...
On the back of one of the lugs it shows a stamp Au 750, so I assume that means Gold 750 (18K). Also the tone of the case look warmer than it would be if it's platinum. As for Metalem, it's the name of a dial making house in Switzerland well known for thei...
what a beauty
thanks for the vicarious pleasure ... I am struck by how similar that dial is to the PT/Grey dial UN San Marco Gigante (of course not the movement or execution). Best Andreas
Thanks to all -- sorry I did not respond personally...
...to each of you, but have been playing catch up with other time demands after the major time invested in creating all of these posts! Best, Gary G
