On my wirst today: 68 years old and still going strong...!

Each time I wear this watch, the same thing happens...

I get totally enchanted by its looks and sophistication!

I am normally a white metal guy...

But find myself more and more drawn to gold when it comes to dress watches!

Share, my friend! :) Yes, these Triple dates with teardrop lugs are to die for... Best to you and yours Blomman

Is it a replacement dial?

 
 By: 4Js : April 15th, 2014-04:13
It looks in fabulous condition. Can you explain what you have had done? Thanks Joe

No...

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : April 15th, 2014-13:25
The only thing replaced AFAIK are the crown and the strap. This one I found as a pair together with a RG sister. Movement numbers are only 9 numbers apart... Best Blomman ...  

Just incredible. :)

Beautiful pieces and 9 numbers apart. Can't believe it! Enjoy ! Joe

And the gold dial with the yellow gold case is nice. -Dean

Thank you, Dean!

While JLC are doing a lot of TT watches... This one should be one of them! :) Best Blomman

I'm a fan of the triple dates!

 
 By: DRMW : April 15th, 2014-12:54
I like how the white outer day ring contrasts with the goldish dial, it makes it so easy to read without being distracting. -MW

I find it very distracting.... ;)

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : April 15th, 2014-13:36
To look at the red date arrow... Another detail I loose myself looking at a lot! :) Best, my friend Blomman

What are the Permissable Hours to Adjust .....

the date and month? Do you use a needle to actuate the pushers, they look rather small?

Yes, date and mounth...

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : April 23rd, 2014-00:12
You need something sharp to be able to push them... But not too sharp that you scratch the case! Best Blomman

Isn't There a Certain Time Period....

 
 By: sidney004 : April 23rd, 2014-08:20
when you should not actuate the pushers to prevent movement damage?

This bears repeating but... I LOVE those lugs!

 
 By: NT931 : April 26th, 2014-06:34
Those lugs just ooze old-world elegance!!

Yes! +1. [nt]

.....i find I can only wear white metal on a day-to-day basis, but when I want a dress watch, the only metal that works for me is yellow or rose. I wonder if yellow has always been a dress metal? Beautiful watch, my friend.

I suspect that gold always been associated ...

With finer things, dress watches included. Here in Sweden earlier it was very common for the man to have a steel watch during the week and a nicer gold watch for the church on Sundays... Thank you, my friend - one that not get's a lot of wrist time, but w...
