A new acquisition, 4947/1A, and I love every detail of it.
I nicknamed it “Levi’s” due to its blue dial with fabric patterns. The new steel bracelet is just as stunning. There are four buttons to set the date, month, day and moon phase for this annual calendar. The case size is 38mm by the way. One of the three s...
Sincere congrats on adding a 4947 to your collection! I love the last picture, it's no doubt an original dial that greatly enhances the versatility of this calendar! ;-)

Congratulations
Gorgeous watch. How does it feel on your wrist? Do you mind me asking how long was your wait? AD’s I ‘ve been to gives a 3-5 yrs wait ( w/c is crazy)
The piece is quite comfortable to wear, not too heavy and not too light.
I have not worn it for long period of time though. It will be for special occasions. I was very lucky to get this piece. There were many pieces I asked and the ADs just could not offer to me. I was lucky eventually there was one piece coming through. Good...
Thanks for the comments and I am glad that you like this piece!
How about annual calendar models 5205G-013 and 5205R-011? These are gorgeous to me! Take care.
