After almost 7 month...
My Hommage came back from the spa. It is, practically, brand new. My question is how do I know that it is still regulated within the Besançon Observatory limits. Can I be sure of that or shall I only be proud that my watch has the technical capacity of being "observatory accurate"?

There's only one thing that I am a bit disappointed of: it did not come accompanied by any Roger Dubuis accuracy tests, as expected from a chronometer grade watch. The travel case is nice, though.

Good question, but even better watch.
Since it has been serviced, there is no chronometry certificate anymore, in my opinion.
Except if it has been tested, once again, by the Observatory, but in this case, you would have a paper...

Thank you for your answer, Nicolas!
So I am left with the pride of owning a beautiful chronometer grade watch and the hope the Roger Dubuis technicians did their best in regulating it.

One of the really great watches...
which I would be proud to own. Excellence all around.
I looks like they did an excellent job.
Congratulations and wear it proudly!

Bravo Radone.......
This is an absolutely beautiful watch, one of my favourite chronograph. It looks like the 40 mm, right? Now, I have never seen these hands on this model before, did RD have different model hands for the Hommage Chronograph?
Again, congratulations.

It is 40 mm
Thank you, Francois! You probably know that RD at that time had series limited to 28 pieces, therefore dials and hands had a quite large variety of combinations. I haven't seen my type of hands in many watches either. Leaf hands are most I've seen in old Hommages.

What a handsome chronograph that is.
I have long admired it -- very exiting to see one on its proud owner's wrist!

Thanks, Jed!
Of all my watch posts, this one raises the highest number of admirative comments.
Thank you!

I have no idea if I should thank you....
For me RD was never on my radar as I had only known the more outlandish models of recent time.
Seeing your H40 has triggered a deep pang and need to find an old school H37 or H40. WHAT A BEAUTY!
I'm completely smitten...boy oh boy....the hunt starts NOW.

Good hunting Cholack..........
I have been hunting for a H37 for the past 6 years, saw one in white gold, but before I could take a deep breath....poooof, it was gone
Cheers and good luck!

I know about a few pieces in Europe
I will PM you. Thank you for appreciating my watch and "good hunting"!
Radu
Thanks guys...
Sandgroper and Radone,
Thank you both for your "good luck" wishes. Hope to show you a trophy in the near future.

This RB Chronograph is amazing!
Lemania movement, original design and moreover the dial is black. I envy you!

Glad the wait is over...
7 months is a long time. Mine took 4 months. A fine piece in every way and a classic that stands the test of time!
All I can say is, they don't make them like they use to.
cheers

I remember it took you less time to get it back
We had that conversation then. There's also a direct relationship with the service cost. Mine took more time and costed more money
