Great choice!

I like the modern two-tone watches better that the earlier pieces of a similar style. This is a great looking watch! Good call.

Back to basics is good

Indeed, it is an excellent feeling.

First serious watch? Rolex GMT MASTER 16700. It was in 1997. [nt]

This one back in 2010.

I read Nicholas lengthy comparisons of Dato, VC les Historiques and 5070. I disagreed with him only on one aspect: for me this one stands above the Dato.

Nicolas: i have tried to find this comparison post you did back in around 2009, but I cannot find it anymore. It was a very good read. Maybe it could be re posted?




Wow! You started right at the top! [nt]

But I certainly did my homework here at Puristpro first!


This is it...

And Puristspro is fully to blame 😉



PuristSPro had nothing to do with my first...

It is not self winding. It very old school, you wind it up each morning before work. Love the feel of it. [nt]
