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... ::facepalm1::
Dry nice example excellent catch

Congrats and wear it on good health. De Lucas first series are a favorite of mine, great vintage look with a great automatic modern movement.
You won't regret your decision!

The missing accessories arrived safely and lightning-fast so I thought I’ll drop some more pictures 😀



30 years after production it’s not always simple to find the missing accessories. Thanks to the collectors network, I’ve been able to source a box and the instructions booklet in a close to nos condition. Very happy about the result 😀
