Incoming - Last Watch For a While

So I don't usually do these incoming threads but I figured I would this time as it is my last significant watch purchase for the foreseeable future!

No pictures or info just yet but all I shall say is that it is a significant departure from my usual watches!

More to come later tonight

Ahh Ken you have no idea how close I came to getting the Duometre. At one point my card was in the card machine but I just couldn't do it, not yet at least! That being said, the RG Duometre is 100% in my future, it is just a case of when, not if!

The winner in the end is the beauty known as the Master Calendar. It has the right mix of simple elegance and complications and at this price level I do not think there are many other pieces that can come close to it. I decided on SS as it is quite discrete, which for me is an important thing. Oh and also I can't resist the dial....it is stunning!

Without further ado, I give you my last purchase for at least a year, and if I break this promise then you have to ban me, Ken

The Jaeger LeCoultre Master Calendar

Thanks guys! I've never had a dress watch before and was worried that they wouldn't appeal to me but I absolutely love this one!

Very nice watch. I've been eying one in the Sales forum. But have not moved yet after making few acquisitions this year already...

Enjoy.

Many thanks guys! It's funny, I bought this watch on Friday and I have looked at the dial at least 200 hundred times but today was actually the first time I used it to tell the time
