Thomas, quite the dilemma you've presented.
One cannot choose between these two. Instead, one of the two calls out in a voice familiar to the beholder for reasons he cannot explain, as both voices are exquisite. For me, it's the vintage. She may not sing as loudly as the skeleton, but she sings in a voice steady and timeless. I could listen to her a lifetime long.
Thanks for the photos.
Best,
Jed

I have to say, I am personally torn between these two; can't seem to decide which is more interesting, or which would be more of a "keeper" The finishing on both are sublime, but so very different. In some ways, I actually like the finish on the movement ...
Tough call, Thomas...
...I almost feel as though I cannot compare the two. If forced to choose (And it would have to be a dire situation, like I'm in a dinghy with both watches and one has to go overboard or else the entire boat sinks into a deep, offshore, mutant, radioactive...
Daos, what are you doing this week or next?
With command of language like that, we just HAVE to meet! ;-) A woman after my own heart... TM
Oh my goodness, Nicolas!
Between you and Thomas, you really know how to make a gal blush! You should put your well-tuned mind to good use, and help me pick out a new strap for my Legend diver instead! Warmest regards, Daos
Daos, i'm jealous. i thought my 'off the wall' displays made me look interesting
dangerous and attractive to women i thought women went for danger, excitement and the unconventional. my wife obviously did. LOL. Graham
Oh, Graham, never fear...
...you will always be my main fella for all watches unusual, off-the-beaten path, and full of intrigue! Um, when are you and the Mrs. coming across the pond to partake of that round of cocktails I've offered?! I hope you are well! Cheers, Daos
Dating service?
Dear Daos, Being poor males you can see that we all crave the approval of the stronger sex. Actually it’s probably all those hairy wrist shots that get too much for us after a while. To be honest, although male Purists outnumber the female ones, it is gre...
As you said, Thomas...2 very different watches
Both SUBLIME. But I would go on the skeleton. Since I saw it in the flesh...I will never forget it. With the Skeleton, you have add an artistic dimension to this musical and horological " chef d'oeuvre "! A last advice, Thomas: If you can't decide, take t...

Jed, are you in California? And an ironic play on words...
Hi, Jed, "She may not sing as loudly as the skeleton, but she sings in a voice steady and timeless. I could listen to her a lifetime long." In fact, the vintage piece sings more loudly and beautifully than that particular sq (I'm familiar with quite a few...
Wow!!
What a pair!!...for me, on balance I think I'd take the vintage piece. I think. Or possibly the other one. Or the vintage piece.... Tim
I'd keep the vintage as well
I don't want to sound like a record since everyone has already stated this, but it's an elegant timeless piece which you cannot get tired looking at. Cheers, Anthony
