130 sector, 3483 Beyer, 3466 Guebelin, 5565. Would like to see more! ...
That's a great collection.
Do you have a single image of the 3483 Beyer? Which one do you prefer most? I have an image of a 3417 and a 565 in stainless steel. 3417 is mine while the 565 is now my good friend's. ...
So YOU're the guy with my favorite watch...
...have never seen one in person but I'd take it over a repeater or a tourbillon...just love the case, dial, and movement. Congrats : )
The 130 Sector Dial is killing me.
Here are some 3417 I could take in picture: And a couple of Ref 96. ...
Look at that 3466 :-)
Amazing dial and lugs. I still need to thank you for your write up on 3417. Your story sparks my imagination and desire to seek for one.
So the difference is Sweeping Hand and Sub Second hand?
Both their lugs look similar to 3417. Are both dial similar in person? I love the metallic sunburst look. Really Nice !
The big difference is the movement
3466 has an auto 27-460 3483 manual 27sc Dial us a bit nicer on 3483 but very similar J
Then I think I know what I prefer :-)
I love 27SC manual movement. Vintage manual wind Patek has really wonderful winding sound. It makes winding the watch in the morning very enjoyable.
Love that 5565!
In another life I've liquidated most of my collection, bought a 5565, and wear it every day. (In this life I have a watch collection, but no steel Patek!)
A great idea to equip every watch with a different strap full of character!
So you can wear it depending on your daily mood 😊
Yes, thank you!
It’s fun to match with clothing also, but I find myself matching my clothing to the watch strap most of the time! Lol!
Daily ...
It started as a special occasion watch, but 6 months ago I stopped that and wear it now daily.
I'm curious for a daily watch,
do you use a 1.5mm thickness or a 1.8mm thickness spring bar. I am contemplating changing my 3417 to a 1.8mm spring bar as I plan to wear it daily.
