Not bad, not bad, but there are so many other recent PF which are worth a serious consideration, too. The Chrono Mysterieux, the Minute and the GMT Rattrapante...
The PF I miss: Tonda GT Big Date
I owned a Parmigiani Tonda GT Big Date for a while, and found it to be a seriously underrated integrated sports watch. This was the piece that made me want to “upgrade” to a PF Micro-rotor Tonda, but if I’m honest, I much preferred the GT. I ended up part...
Agreed on the Rattrapante’s being worth looking into.
Still, I miss the added intricacies and textures of the GT. The recent PF’s look great at first, but I’ve lost interest after a few months of ownership. It just lacked a bit of pizzazz.
I traded my Tonda PF Micro Rotor for the Tonda GT Big Date.
I'm happy with the trade. The GT is a pure "sport watch" in my opinion. The Tonda PF Micro Rotor is a "business casual watch," more refined but not really a sport watch in the truest sense. Here is my Tonda GT Big Date on a rubber strap with "khaki dial."...
Yes!!!
I might be right there with you in the future. In the true integrated sports watch genre, it is a hidden gem. Agreed on the PF Tonda being a bit more in the business casual realm.
