If I had to choose I would pick the cornes de vache but it would be a close call

The good thing is I don't need to dream about a watch I won't ever afford haha
Super pair though! The cdv is amazing as well
Thanks! As for the pt950, you can’t even see it unless you pull out a loupe. It is extremely subtle and well placed.

Thanks Bruno! For me the 1921 but it is close call too. I am thankful I don’t have to choose as these ones are staying with me for good.

Both are stunning Ken but the 1921 is very special.

The numerals are perfect.

I enjoyed reading a review.

Wow Ken what a duo

Wow, I’m really late to this party!! But I don’t think it’s a problem bumping these two beauties back up to the top.

Bravo Ken and thanks for sharing!

I missed this thread. Beautiful watches, both of them. Congrats, Ken.

I'd love a 1921 myself but I'm absolutely sure it wouldn't suit me.

Awesome pieces! Do they not make 37ish case size for Pt version? I am contemplating on getting a smaller size 1921 in WG. CVD is definitely under appreciated compared to Patek and ALS chronos. It uses Lemania movement with higher level of finishing, is it not? Love the lug design. Great duo!

This 1921 was for the 100th Anniversary and they made only 100 which sold out quickly. It was made only in 40mm which fits my wrist perfectly. The 36mm is a bit small for me. The CDV at 38.5mm is perfect fit with the cow horn lugs. Together they make for the perfect pair for me. The highly finished Lemania Cal 1142 makes for the perfect movement within the perfect chrono. Thanks,
