Sometimes those totally impulse purchases happen...

I have visited my watchmaker today to pick up a watch from service and while he was picking up the watch from the safe I ran around the shop lurking at the watches for sale. This baby literally burned my eyes :

1988 - First execution of De Luca - cal. 400 - 375 pces ever made

I immediately pinged @Adri who owns one and ask his opinion about it. I've been fortunate enough to get a live support and had no other choice than to pick it up 😁

That reverse panda dial in an outstanding condition, hands, dial, bezel, I actually love everything about this watch 🥰

Damn, I've been promising myself to focus...

Hi @kov: Great catch - congratulations on this great piece! And with @Adri you had probably the most competent consultant in this field in Switzerland.

p.s. don't worry, focussing is overrated 😉

I narrowly missed one on eBay that need some TLC and have regretted it ever since! Very nice watch, and the only DeLuca I would consider. Vintage styling, modern movement!

Nice, I've seen plenty of El Primero's, but have yet to see one of these in the wild... Nice pickup...
