Things like this are IMHO the best part about this thread

The best part about this thread was the full frontal of Kate Upton wearing that perp cal minute repeater. And it's just a few pages back ...

You may have just launched a hundred thousand clicks on SF searching for that post...

Since it has to be a Rado, why not go all-in?

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

thanks Kaplan... great suggestion.

What is the case/bracelet.  Is it treated steel?  Its nice but not very distinctive. I'd rather see you get something that is totally different from anything you have, and which is something you will only see from Rado.  I really like Kaplan's suggestion. 

It is the newest version of their high-tech ceramic... supposedly it is almost indestructible. I hear where you guys are coming from and that model is much more distinctive and completely different from anything else I own. I've just started this search so thank you all for your thoughts and opinions.


and I missed this one earlier... wow.

Which is why the Glashutte limited edition Cosmopolite is my new grail watch....

The Cosmopolite is beautiful as a piece of art, but my goodness is it large! I just think that 48mm is unwearable for me. I think it would have been nice if they had foregone the tourby.

^ I didn't realize it's that big! No way I could pull that off. Seems it would be much more practical without the tourby... agreed.

Speaking of tourbys...

Article from the 'dink a few hours ago:

http://www.hodinkee.com/blog/introd...lle-14-day-tourbillon-platine-details-pricing

VC's Patrimony Traditionnelle - 14 days / tourbillon - in platinum and limited to 50 numbered pieces.





Just 42mm so eminently wearable.

NOT a cheap watch.

I am just going to go out there and say it. That is about THE MOST lovely tourbillon watch I have ever seen. And a 14 day power reserve for a watch with a tourby? Holy balls. The watch has personality as well, which I admire.

I would do bad things for one of those. That price is pretty ridonculous as well.

I really enjoy the asymmetry of the dial.

I like this version, very tasty.

Exactly.

+1 kinda like the yellow gold version a little better...as long as we're dreaming.

And Frilly I have no idea what G-Shock she's wearing, but I don't think anyone has ever smirked a better smirk than that young lady is smirking in the pic that you posted

Nothing like being a professional photographer and a brand ambassador for Panerai.  I will ask for more "samples."

Yes, I have provided feedback to my friend about not properly photographing the subdials properly.  I will attempt to gain access to other more appropriate shots.

Need an update, stat!

 

[in stitches]



yeah me too... but as a gift, hey I'm not complaining. "Neat" is good right?

lol, yes neat is good. tho i would lean towards kaplans rec. that a damn cool watch imo.

Most excellent, Mimo.

that truly is a fantastic tourb. the proportions are exemplary and the styling is stunning. want. want. want!

I normally take a long time to consider an item before I purchase (not only because of my wife lol), but this spoke to me the moment I saw it and I moved quickly to secure it. Hopefully the watch and I can age gracefully together

Wraight, you've aged gracefully!

^ Thanks...I think...

Thought I would share one of mine here. Always gets a few stares and compliments.
