··Carpe horologium!Here’s a long overdue thread resurrection..
‘Twas a real favorite thread of mine back in the old days when I was a NooB!
I didn’t own a ‘Fab Suisse’-dialed beauty back then, but I do own a few now, thanks to ΩF 👍.
My first one I guess I ‘inherited’ from our ‘Fabulous’ ΩF veteran, @Alpha: a gorgeous little Alpina gem; thanks, man!
You can see Alpha wearing the very watch in Scotland on page 1 of this thread...
Number 2 & 3 I also acquired from friends/sellers here on ΩF:
The JLC is a little bit more rare since instead of ‘Fab Suisse’, JLC spelled out ‘Fabrique en Suisse’ 😀.
Oh, wait; I guess I should be consistent and spell out ‘Jaeger-Le-Coultre’ as well...😁
Notice that they always seem to have incredible patina... 🥰
Is that a French thing?
