2 Germans walk into a bar...
Well, technically, into a restaurant for lunch. I had the pleasure today of seeing my old LE #7, and the very good friend I sold it to. I wore my Tutima, so we could unite these two compatriots.
I'll stand by my reply to Nicolas' thread below - this 25 piece limited edition version of the Senator Chronometer is the best the brand has released. It was a real pleasure to handle it again.
Sal, I am blown away with the Tutima.
It has surpassed all of my expectations (purchased sight unseen, ordered just from the photos I could find). The quality is on level with any of my best pieces from AP, Parmigiani, etc. I will be posting much more about it.
It reminded me of a very special piece...

I see the similarities with the polished titanium, grey dial, and guilloche
The FPJ is stunning!
PS, I have ironically considered a burgundy strap for the Tutima as a future alternate! Now I am convinced it would be great.

That GO would be lovely without a date
I would go as far as wishing for a hand wound movement for a thinner package as well.
Ha! I would love to see one without date, too. The movement is hand wound in the G.O, mon ami.
The Tutima as well! 65 hours of reserve with just 50 turns of the crown...
I expect many more members will add one of these when they try it in person. There is also a darker anthracite dial and a lighter silver dial in this Patria titanium series. Someone had to go first, and as I posted above, I am delighted with the watch in every way.
A couple of winners there Michael. Nice to reunite with the GO if only for a short while.
Indeed. I had almost forgotten how hefty the GO is.
Especially comparing to the titanium Tutima.
The simplicity of the Tutima has won my heart.
But I will always respect the technical merits of the GO caliber 58-01.
