The Watch Thread - Part 13

[MrSenG]

Oh my goodness!!! This watch looks incredible in the flesh and may be the best looking Speedy I've seen in person (no exaggeration). The off-black matte dial contrasts very nicely against the silver subdials and the brush finishing of the case is just perfect!!

Wish I could attend the event, was turned down politely.

Are the hands brushed as well? How was the leather strap? Just saw a video which shows the watch from different angles, really brings out the level of detail that went into the design.

From this photo, the hands look not very well finished or it's usually like this at this macro level?

^indeed looks badly finished. Don't forget they wear lupes when doing such work so it shouldn't look like that, unless its some weird angle and light effects.

How old is this piece? could be corrosion due to moisture getting inside.

Interesting discussion on Hodinkee about why Rolex isn't considered part of the Holy Trinity. I mean if there's a 4th spot, surely that would go to Jaeger-LeCoultre

Thanks, sometimes felt like I was the only one on this thread sharing links we watch enthusiats enjoy reading/ watching. More please.

If Rolex did the kind of finishing the big 3 do, they wouldnt be able to produce that many and at that price.

But still like sub standard around the border of the lume and at the hole of the hands area

Haha sometime better not to see in such detail

My vote goes to A. Lange & Söhne.

I enjoyed the video from Hodinkee about Watch Brand Pronunciation, learnt that there's another way to pronounce 'Jaeger-LeCoultre'.

Wah... you are like buying a new watch every other day! Satki!
