Why? Why do I starting liking the 424 ... ?

I have tried the 425, its not really doing much for me, even though I like the dialwhich I think its more special than "just" 3, 6, 9, 12.

Now I can't get the 424 (no date) out of my mind ...

Any 424 owner? What do you think about the watch?

^ Very nice, Martin. Love the Cali + gold hands + logo. And, I think I even prefer the date for this particular set up.

Very nice. yeah it looks great with the gold hands. I prefer the 249 with blue hands just a tad more. Love Cali dials!

Definite awesome PAM - both versions, with the no-date slightly ahead (imho, that is)

Love the Cali dial but ultimately the Prototype dial of the 425 and 449 won over. When the chance arrives I'll trade this for a 449 but for now the 425 is great!

Nice combo. For me, you have the modern SLC to have. The gold hands pop so nicely with the sparse dial. I prefer the blue hands with the Cali dial (249).

I got trapped too by the numberless dial. The elevated sapphire glass is something special even thought it's not plexi.
