    Such a great execution of the triple date moonphase. Certainly up there as on of my favorite "modern" interpretations of this design.

    I agree, but it would have been better IMO with a plexi/acrylic crystal instead of sapphire. It's not going in the water in any case!

    I was VERY selective about the only moonphase / calendar watch I ever owned. I looked at quite a few brands, even JLC with the NYC crew (LouS, Wetworks, David whose screen name here I forget, etc) at the Timekeepers Show a few years back. The one I finally settled on was the Chronoswiss.

    ....and of course I ended up selling it because that's what I do. ::facepalm2:: It's one of the few I wouldn't mind having back.

    Dang, that really is a beauty.

    I can't imagine the insanity of ever selling a watch that beautiful... were you bloody drunk?!?

    Please, PLEASE :), let me know if/when you run out of room in the box and need to let one or two go... all of them look to be in excellent condition :thumbsup:...

    Thanks for sharing!
    I'd love to see a close-up of the triple-date, thin rose-gold bezeled one, second one from left in the top row...::love::

    it is ETA 1100 movement, anyway the layout of the moonphase watch is quite similar, the only way you know is the position of the pushers can find it out.

    Yes, thanks, the thin bezel gives it an especially nice larger appearance... love the tall hour numbers, too; a beauty!
