    ....or, in Classic Rocky & Bullwinkle alternate title fashion:

    One of my favorite under-rated brands is going to get a chunk of change from me sometime in the future.

    Long story short: Basel 2017 - Piaget - UltraThin - Blue Crosshair Dial - 38mm manual wind...... it's just a matter of time.

    http://www.watchinsanity.it/en/pre-sihh-2017-piaget-altiplano-60th-anniversary/

    Piaget_Altiplano_60th_Watch_Insanity_02.jpg

    It's no secret I like ultra-thins, and Piaget is one of my Kryptonite brands. So much so, that I made them my first recommendation in an article I wrote a long time ago for a periodical some of you might have heard of. ;) (hint: Most men went there for pictures, just not of watches. :whistling:)

    This watch has my name written all over it, as if Piaget made it to my specs.

    Nice watch! And I though Nomos did a good job with a minimalistic blue dial.

    That is a nice looking dial and the thinness is remarkable.

    Is 2.1mm the total case thickness of the smaller version? That's very impressive.

    This watch certainly has an elegance missing in so many other popular watches.

    Underscoring the inevitability of the outcome, Dennis+Piaget is an anagram of "sedate pining".

    43 mm seems pretty big for a dress watch. But wow only 2.35mm thick (Omega product manager take note of thickness).

    I do love blue faced watches. I own or have owned many.

    You can almost hear Agent Smith saying "It is inevitable".

    Yes - the manual wind......

    ...... are you sitting down?.....

    ...... has a list price of $25,000! :confused: :eek:

    That Nomos above is looking better and better every day. ;) :thumbsup:

    If it's out at that point, I'm totally trying it on. ::psy::
