Friday morning G O roll call with a twist . . .
. . . please contribute a brief explanation why you were initially attracted to your watch . . .
This is a close-up of my Senator perpetual in a limited-edition black dial . . . it's identical to the production cal 39 Senator perpetuals in every regard save the charcoal black dial and the white moonphase indicator. At the time I purchased it (a little over two years ago) I also had a Senator power reserve with a silver dial which is a close cousin aesthetically to the perpetual. I wanted to buy a Senator perpetual to complement my two Karree perpetuals that wasn't too close in appearance to the power reserve (now sadly gone to a new home), but my first choice, the fabled steel Navigator perpetual, was long gone. My choices were then narrowed down to the two limited edition rose gold Senators, this one and the Navigator version; I preferred this model to the Navigator for it's subtle (but low visibility) dial design. I rarely wear it, but it has the distinction of being my most accurate performer at around - 1.5 seconds per day. Cordially, Art

I'm wearing this as I write this post.....
What attracted me to this watch? Well, a number of things including the offset dials, the PR indicator, the fact it was a manual wind, and of course the movement:
I can honestly say that once I had this on my wrist at the AD, I could not get it out of my mind. It's the only watch that held me in such a way from the time I tried it on until I bought it. I literally lost sleep over it! It seems an extreme reaction when I think about it now, and it's not happened before or since (at least with a watch).
