This is terrible! I had the pleasure of meeting Horology75 on a few occasions and he always struck me as a kind, fun-loving man with superb taste in the finer things. It's tough news to take and I can only imagine how his family must be feeling... my sincere condolences to them and may he rest in pe
Hi christianch, Thanks for putting these images up. Yes, they are the ones I saw as well and I think somewhere else as well, although your ones are directly from the Bvlgari website! I have this one too and, like you, I went in eyes wide open, as I examined the watch closely before taking it. I knew
Hi Patrick, I agree, many brands out there do hollow out gold cases and bracelets. Some are more subtle than others. In Bvlgari's case, I guess there is an argument that they do this for weight and balance reasons, but the thing that annoys me is that certain marketing shots (even on their website)

A beautiful Piaget from another time. Did you end up acquiring it? I really do like the Piagets you have. I used to (and still do) love the early Polos and Dancers on bracelets. I remember when Piaget would proudly state in their adverts that their watches were always in precious metals, otherwise t
Another amazing piece for your collection! Congratulations on acquiring this extremely elegant and well thought out timepiece. I'm blown away by the amazing pieces you have in your collection. Enjoy and wear this (and the others) in the best of health. Kind regards kkwn98
Many thanks for highlighting them here! What an amazing pair, from a bygone era. I remember these perpetuals which had the corrector on a chain like this and, like VinnyD, I also wonder how practical they were, not to mention you would have to accept you would end up with a very scratched lug! But t
