During Dias era RD achieved more consensus
Several new movements each year (with some reliability's problems) with a unique design.
Maybe too show off, too big, but the quality was by far above the average.
They made one of the best chrono caliber ever, excalibur with micro rotor; under Richemont they focused more on reliability and Monegasque crono is not so bad.
Are sector dials making a come back?
I've always liked this one though, irrespective of the current trend. I guess everything goes around in circles and I'm waiting for the day when decent size watches with refinement become popular again. As this is my only watch with such a dial, it would ...
One of nicest sector dial chronos out there for me
Truly superb piece dear Pa Yours D
Very nice classic chrono dial layout
This has got to be one of the most outstanding chrono layout since vintage era very nice indeed
You welcome :)
I think the only other closest modern vintage style chrono would be the recent Vacheron Constantin Historiques Cornes de Vache 1955 Chronograph, its very beautiful but very expensive since its made platinum.... well.... i could only admire from the window...
A wonderful watch, front and back
I just wish RD had not stopped producing such beautiful watches...
A BIG +1 on "decent size watches with refinement". Sadly...
... I can't find a single watch in Roger Dubuis' current collection that I find remotely appealing! But yours is a thing of beauty Wear it in good health... Cheers, Kamy

That's a beautiful chronograph.
Thanks for sharing. Sorry I don't have a sector dial to share here. M4
Wow that RD chrono is stunning!
I immediately went and Googled it ;-) As for sector dials, it's interesting to see how they've unexpectedly had a mini resurgence in interest . I really like their vintage look, though I only have one modern one ...
Thanks Fernando!
Btw how big is your RD chronograph? I find it rather tempting... ;-)
Oh my 37mm is perfect for a dress chrono!
Now to start googling further to see if any are on sale... thanks!
A true beauty.
Thanks for sharing - love manual wind chronos especially the less common ones!
Yes
Crazy how that Dubuis is almost a TWIN of the new JLC chrono. In a way this is why I'm less easily moved by really almost all new watches... there is virtually nothing the great Swiss or Germans have not done.. and I say this with greatest passion for all...
I am not so sure about sector dials, but what I really would love to see coming back...
are Roger Dubuis watches of this class and elegance. Your specimen is a superb example of a holistically conceived watch according to the good old Genevan school of yesterday. Thank you for sharing! Best, Magnus
What an awesome watch
The dial and movement are just superb. The current stable of RD watches look like they come from a Bizarro-world version of this watch.
absolutely a stunning piece!
What is the reference number of this RD chrono? May be on my next buy list haha....(hope it is not a unique piece Cheers, Vin
Well, none of the new releases this year are nearly as nice as yours!
Yes, we saw multiple new "sector" dials this year. But yours is purely awesome, I can't say that about any of the others. Thanks for sharing it here!

Hello I collect Roger Dubuis pre 2004 hommage chronographs and perpetuals as well as early sympathy watches. Do you have any RD watches in these categories for sale or do you know of any dealers or collectors who might want to sell these watches? Thank yo...

Dear Fernando, I couldn't help but admire this watch. In case you are ever willing to sell it, please get in touch. Best Regards, Mustafa
Roger at his best...
very good looking watch. R D can make some great watches when they leave out the “bling” factor.
Hello Fernando
What a beautiful watch you got! It has all the traits to be considered a classic! Please, share more pics! Wear it in good health! René
What a beauty!
May I ask lug length and width? I have previously tried a 40mm hommage which I enjoyed but felt borderline large even though I could easily be happy with that size. Out of curiosity wondering how much smaller this measures from lug to lug as well as width...
Thanks, I'll get back to you with the details..
in about 3 weeks. I dont have the watch with me as I'm travelling. It is comparable with the 5110 with 19mm width between lugs if I remember correctly. cheers fernando
Thanks!
I just saw a review online of another 37mm rd with similar case. Appears to be 44.2nm length and 18mm width between lugs. These are beautiful pieces, enjoy yours!
