So, the boss let me borrow one of his watches for an event a couple of days ago... not too shabby...
Very generous boss I've got to say. It's a great watch, though I prefer without the 'chin', my favourite is the blue dial model, the only one not in stock when I went to try then on in Geneva

Interesting, he thinks the "chin" will be more desirable in the future. Do like the blue dial though, but this probably slips under the radar a little easier when necessary.Ashley1111 said:

Yes, no doubt that combination is fairly discreet - ultra classy. Most people probably wouldn't have a clue about the watch - and especially not its price tag which would possibly cause a large scale riot amongst some groups! The chin is a very controversial one, from an investment point it might not be a bad idea. In any case the watch is about as good as it gets really, thanks for posting up the photo - hope you get to enjoy it on many more occasions!

The bloke gets very excited about the knobs.And speaking of those pushers, I must say, actuating them is almost akin to having a religious experience. The resistance of the pushers is neither “buttery smooth” like in the A. Lange & Söhne Datograph, nor “all-or-nothing” like in the Vacheron Constantin Harmony Chronograph; it is somewhere in between, in a place I’d like to call the “Goldilocks zone” – just nice. You hear (and feel) the very reassuring “snack, snack, snick” as you start, stop and reset the chronograph, providing you with immense aural and tactile satisfaction.
Taken my Breitling in for a service (price an unpleasant shock!), so wearing my father's 1960s Bucherer. It's a manual winding chronometer, gold, wafer thin.
He died when I was quite young, barely worn it, but had it overhauled a couple of years ago. Think I'll get a new matt black strap and wear it regularly.

Just received today, love it! The watch looks much better in person as the dial, sundials and diamonds really sparkle. I tried to capture it in the pictures but it doesn't really show, but a few pics anyway.
Congrats, I thought you were going to say your fiancé was letting you wear her jewellery again Edited by sealtt on Wednesday 29th March 13:28
