Your 5980R is pretty sweet too

What's the outside track on the chrono timer for? I know one is a 60 minute and the other a 12 hr counter but can't figure the other one out

Thanks buddy!! It is 30 minute ring on outside and red is 60 minute ring. So it could be on 5 minute or 35 minutes for example.

These. I own all of them and each makes me smile in a different way. :)

Great looking trio.

jim251 · 23 April 2012, 02:12 AM

I have definitely not been at this as long as most others here. This, combined with my gross underestimation of how much pleasure, satisfaction and joy this pastime would bring me has me running a somewhat accelerated plan to make up for lost time.

I thought there would be several nice watches in the near term to keep me satisfactorily breathless, but have decided that I'm going to just go for the watch that has defeated all comers in my desirability department, IMO of course...

My problem is that I have yet to see one in person, and we all know how that always changes the perception and opinion, sometimes for the better, sometimes not.

So, courtesy of my excellent AD, today I'm going to see it for the 1st time...

More later!

I don't know much about the ingenieur, but I thought it might be a Limited Edition or something of that nature.

So is there any chance you'll be able to get one?

it is something i am seriously considering

going mull it over for the next week or two as i have 5 watches at the moment and feel guilty when i get more, so trying to stick to 5 at most ,add to that that this is is five figures.. then it becomes a decision on which one i might let go .. which is none of them at the moment or is it justifiable to just add it

The torment we put ourselves through

I have the black ingenieur chrono at the moment and it is wonderful

Good luck with your decision Christopher, either way I'm sure you'll do what's right for you.

A piece of history in two ways, the longest produced watch and the first Navi with an inhouse MVT, an absolute beauty and I should add possibly the most perfect iteration of a watch that has always been my childhood dream.

An the best part: that one is mine and it represents the special occasion I bought it for like nothing else could have :)

Both great choices Eric.

This is one of the exciting parts of the hunt for me.

Looking, learning, and exploring different options.

Good luck with your decision Eric.
