Using "need for want" was what built SF.
Thanks bud, learned from the best. Thought I might as well (finally) put that Rubi square to use .
No need to be sad, nothing is better than when you have convinced yourself you "need" something.
Very nice. Batman challenging the hulk. I need to pick up another pair of Corthays. Unfortunately, I bought my first pair a little too big. Bought them after a long day walking around in Paris, and when I came back stateside, they were half a size too big. Alas!
Nice shooz, Frilly.
And you guys watch Iron Man movies for the timepieces.
Hey Frills,
On the few occasions where the Mrs. did wear one of my watches, my old Explorer 114270 and a Daytona, she was much more careful with the watches than she normally is. Although, I was still a bit nervous. Her Cartier TF takes a real beating as her daily wearer. Her dressier watch is a steel and rose gold Datejust, that she rarely wears. She has talked about getting a real dress watch, JLC Reverso or Piaget. She is very well versed in watches and jewelry (she might even be a bigger movement snob than me. She won't consider a quartz watch. I even have to remind her I own a quartz watch, a ref 17000 Rolex OYSTERQUARTZ). I think when push come to shove, generally she would rather have jewelry than another watch.
Hulk Like green and purple together. Hulk also a fan of Phineas Cole socks and neckties.
Ooooh a blue monster! Snazzy! Hey, there is no need to be ashamed of a Monster. It holds its own more than adequately. In house movement--check; original design--check; built like a tank--check; one of the best bracelets ever--check; quirky--check. What is not to love?
dcg, I hear the Speedmaster is perfect for timing naps LOL.
Loving the canines!
dcg - dag looking good
The blue seconds hand seriously makes those watches too.
This is Sylvia.
She is a mixed-breed "rescue" dog. About three years old.
If you were to suggest that it is an "uninspired" piece from a "jewelry house" that runs on a "pedestrian" movement, she will bark at you very loudly, and demand to be taken for a walk.
frills - im a huge corthay fan. the arca is one of the moat beautiful shoes all time.
Sylvia very pretty, and has nice taste in watches. My problem with Thor is he would consider tasting the watches (actually he might just swallow one whole).This is Sylvia.

Sylvia is also a big fan of the Cartier Roadster. (Coincidentally....who knew?)

That's a beauty. I'm guessing you tried the GP forum (I believe there is one on TZ or Puristspro). I am far from a GP expert, but it seems many watches from 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, (PP, AP, VC) just went by reference numbers. Companies often did not have collections they way they do today, for example today VC has the Patrimony, Historique, and Overseas, etc. Often times a watch back then may have been made for a very short span of time, a change or two is made, and there is a new reference number (although they probably used the same movement, until a new one was released). I doubt you will find much specific information regarding your GP, but it really is a beautiful watch. Enjoy it.
Very nice choice. Congrats! I'm sure it will give you many years of enjoyment!
