Tribute watches steal my Heart

Well done Bill,

Once again you have made my heart race. I have an unnatural infatuation with the 1954. The love the curved crystal and contrasting case shape that showcase "The Lips". The dial patterns add an unmatched elegance to any tank shaped watch. On the wrist it sits beautifully and its curvature fits perfectly under any cuff. This is defiantly a competitor to the 1921 when my collection is ready for it, today my collection is simply not worthy.

Best,

which I agree deserves more attention. I like it especially for its dial and case. But all other watches shown aren´t that bad as well ... :-) Thanks for sharing! Oliver

Thank you, Oliver....

;-) Your former Chronometre Royal makes me salivate. I got it bad and that ain't good. That black dial automatic is a pure beauty. It is always such a disarming pleasure to see black dials on vintage V&Cs. Now, as for the Historiques models...I know y...

+1 on everything you said, Respo!

I must say that the re-editions are fantastic watches that holds their own! Thank you for sharing, Bill. Best Blomman

The Aronde looks great on you, respo....

and I know that would be a great way to get the calibre 1400 in your collection. Or perhaps an 81180......or a Grande Classique...... Bill
