Patek 3417 / Jaeger Lecoultre E 168. Amagnetic Versus Amagnetic and Chronometer.
These 2 are legends for those who collect amagnetic and or manual winding chronometers. Two signatures, " amagnetic " and " Chronomètre ". Two great brands, Patek and Jaeger. Two great references as well. The Geophysic has the advantage of being ALSO a...

These tool watches are becoming very desirable!! 3417 vs 666 I have not seen the geophysic irl ...
Yes macho , very manly watch. The 2.

Divine Duo!!
to own one is a real blessing. having the chance to own both is... beyond spectacular. thanks for sharing these beauties here

That being said, I remember when Baron first posted after getting the amagnetic Patek. What a watch!
