Had an important meeting today. Chose my weapon carefully. The meeting started 10.30. Just had time to take a "happy dial" at 10.10. Meeting went well. From this experience I can recommend a rose Connie 14381, cal 551 for all important meetings. Could not choose picture. You get them all.
Do you have a link where you discussed this Gallet? If no link......please start one, that is one fine looking watch.
Right now, wearing a project watch I was involved with in 2013 on another forum. May seem sacrilege to some , but the Chinese can make (and copy) some beautiful watches, this one, with a SeaGull ST-8000 tourbillon:
FINALLY...got my 145.012 back on the wrist this evening.. where it will remain firmly planted through the weekend.
Me? It's a real UG Compax but a modern (1987) version with a Lemania movement. It's only worth around 1/5th - 1/6th of the last in-house references from 10 years earlier. I feel a little bad for the guys who bought these watches. They were purchasing the reputation of a manufacturer which basically no longer existed. I have the original store receipt from Tourneau NY and it was $5000.00 (5,182.00, to be precise) with sales tax in 1987 dollars. Ouch.
