I bought mine 23 years ago. Still perfect incredible watch. More accurate than my Rolex submariner and Panerai Luminor Submersible. But my Raymond Weil Don Giovanni is just as accurate as well. They're all more than 15 years old. Needless to say I'm satisfied. 😁

When were these made.

The band is not adjustable as described. The slide is just for ease of taking on and off. The bottom small red hand is hours the top red hand is minutes on the chronograph. Great watch one of my favorites - a joy to wear.

Matt McLoughlin despite dealer prices, you can find one of these without box and papers for under $1,000.

Alex Wintermute yeah I have one stuck in customs coming in from Japan and I paid just over 2 grand for it. Don’t think they’re going for much less than that and if they are, I’d question it.

Do you think, guys, this is a good investment? I am trying to justify the purchase. It will be my first acquisition of an "expensive" watch

Bought mine in 97. Would never sell but see nice early ones going for 3300-3900 today. Very comfortable watch

I saw your question - yes I have the solid bracelet. The only problem I have with it is that if bend my hand inward tightly the clasp can come loose and I don’t wanna lose it. So I’m careful. Is that the problem you had?

This may be a dumb question, since the month is displayed, but is it a true annual calendar, or do you need to re-adjust the 30/31 day months?
@Anthonyvo5 жыл бұрын
I have this one and unfortunately you do indeed have to change the date for every month with less than 31 days.

How on earth did they manage to extend a 45mm lug to lug watch to 51.5 just with the bracelet. Now I'm scared it's too big
