Here's my first, which according to an Extract of the Archives is a CK921 with a T17 movement.
In hindsight now I think it's a redial, and the crown isn't right, but it was pitched to me as 'original dial' and I fell in love with it.
When it finally arrived I wasn't prepared for the small size, and my wife asked me (with some suspicion) why I had bought a ladies' watch. She must have thought I was having an affair, and that the watch was meant for my (non-existent) mistress! With its fixed lugs and my skinny wrists, I struggled to find short-length open-ended straps (settling for a lizard strap with the unmanly name of 'Princess' from Hirsch).
Quite an experience for a 1st vintage. It remains one of my favourite watches, and one I wear for special occasions. And the T17 still has a 52-hour reserve
