    Been eyeing this for a while. VC for me holds a special place as my Speedmaster has a similar movement (Piguer 1285) with VC's Overseas Chronograph (Piguet 1185, until 2015 when they started using their in-house movement).

    I think once you see what powers a VC it almost doesn't matter what the watch itself looks like ... I know every time I wear mine, it makes me smile because I know what the innards of that little machine is doing and just how damn gorgeous it is. Twice I've thought about selling it, then I put it on my wrist and realise I can't.

    An hour after writing that I'd love to own one again in the Recommended... thread:

    The Omega, that is ;)

    Both of them came in the same lot and weren't too expensive. It's going to be interesting to take them apart!

    Nice one! Beautiful with those full lumed hands and in great condition. Is it a bumper or a microtor movement?

    Thanks, it's a bumper movement. Seems all the full lumed hands examples I have seen are with the bumper movements as well.

    Something came today.

    At least I can tell "Her" that it doesn't cost as much as Chanel No5.

    (I mean Chanel No5 Parfum, 30ml. I hope she thinks I mean Chanel No5 Eau Premiere Spray 35ml.) :D

    But I think I'll be up for No5 Parfum when she finds out :(.

    On the left, the pick up of the day! I got it for my gf since I got a very good deal and the watch is perfect. I think I'm going to steal it from time to time (the crown is a pain to operate though!) image.jpeg

    As far as I'm concerned, a great looking watch is a great looking watch, regardless of who's name hangs on the dial! And that is a great looking watch!

    It's in ... I've cleaned the accumulated gunk from the bracelet, clasp, caseback and lugs .... given it a rub with the last three drops of polywatch in the tube .... resized the bracelet .... and here she is:
