I find the aesthetic really 'off' in an unpleasing 'loud' way. Also, I'm not exactly sure if that watch really works as what it meant to be. My watch mentor, Bernard, loves that watch but I have to disagree with him on this one ;-) Lovesss*CL

I thought about the Freak, as you seem to love original and strong watches... The Freak is indeed an original watch, and the point is that the Freak can speak loud, very loud to some, and disturb others... The most important is that the watch has to speak... 

one day I will wake up and realise I NEED the FREAK It is possible. Every year, I keep looking at that watch and everytime I say try again next year, not NEVER ;-) So it is possible I may fall in love with it. If I do, it will be a very strong affection. ... 

You may be convinced... It's a bit bigger than the Freak 1 ( 44, 5 mm ),an you have no issues with it... It may be a Freakie watch for you, my friend... Best.Nicolas

You have a Rolex from Biel, an Urwerk from Geneva, how about a Lang & Heyne from Dresden ? A completely different tradidtion and esthetic. Don More to be seen in my Basel report on Marco Lang click here...  

a masterpiece from either Kari OR Dufour would indeed make that a complete time only trio collection. Each part exists to fully complement the other. The Milgauss with the anti-magnetic properties coupled with the new beefy bracelet from Rolex results in ...

They look like a great candidates for daily use. Very good selection. I have been eyeing at the 'middle' one ;-) Will you post a wrist shot of the middle one in the Patek forum? Lovesss*CL

Check my post on May 12th. in Patek forum -Just arrived 5124G. Cheers Fernando

...CL - other than the black faces, where's the common theme in those two? One from a major producer (THE major producer...) the other in very limited supply; one round, one not; one on bracelet, one on leather; one SS, one TiAlN; one manual, one automati... 

classic design, beautifully finished hand winding movement, and probably good enough to hold its place in the three until your Dufour and KV show up. Cheers, Mike

Thank you very much. Lovesss*CL

I don't have the RG or PT piece, but a SS piece is just as good and beautiful. I simply love this Portuguese Jubilee!!! Enjoy the pics and good luck in your hunt! Wrist Shot!!!! Stunning movement!...  

His watches exemplify the one-of-a-kind that would enhance and complete the trio. tempusfugit

... has anyone on the forum taken delivery of one yet? It would be terrific to see some photos and read impressions. Cheers, pplater.

Hi CL We dont know each other but I have been following some of the forum members these few years and see their acquisitions and 'growth path'. I am not stalking btw. You have grown and more importantly, I see that u have taken a lot more effort in buildi... 

Hi CL I can understand your though process. I used to fantasize about some watches and I mean seriously fantasize (whatever that means). After time, most grew pale but some stood out. Kari is one of them. Dufour is another. You have up and down swing in m...
