Great looking watch.
Looks like a million dollar. Or billion dollar.

My grail is coming soon too. I hope this one really will close the grail buying era.
Back to reality.

Will post some pics when the collection is complete

You guys are awesome! Thanks for the kind words. I have collected for a long time, but this is my first real collector piece. I am still in the I can't believe it phase. She fits like a glove on the 7206. You know you got it bad when you get the original bracelet for a watch and have MY restore it before you even have the watch...I feel very blessed today.

While on a phone call, I captured this dial macro.

I live my 1680. All those white letters, creamy plots, and oxidized hands. Just the way it should be love it!

Super watches, gents!

Wearing my 1968 small-rose Tudor 7016/0 from Jacek today. Characterized by gilt text for the markers and "T Swiss T," and white text elsewhere.
