Been looking for the Year of the Tiger LE for a while. It’s my favorite pilot dial but they rarely pop up in the US. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Great watches et. al. Where are all the great cars to go along with them? Image Unavailable, Please Login
Thanks for the compliment! An independent Rolex-certified watchmaker located in North Dallas changes out dials for $30, on the spot. The dial came from eBay, $200 + tax.
New arrival! Not in the same league as some of my FChat brothers here, but I think it's a pretty great looking piece. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Fun having your watch and the gf’s watch in the same early 2000’s catalog. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Nah…just the up close shot (watches always look bigger when photographed up close), it’s 42mm, but mostly all dial + very large pushers, so appears larger then it’s dimensions, especially in a closeup photo. Image Unavailable, Please Login
It's a very cool piece and more my style than your RM but the Patek looks like it wears bigger. How does it feel to wear? The reason I ask is I have some orphan, high end, size 10 and size 12 pocket watch movements (mostly American) and was thinking of using them in a wristwatch or two (it's been done before but...). RGM did a run of these and the 10 Size came up 41mm: https://www.rgmwatches.com/watches#/model-222rr/ (I'd probably want a more interesting case). The 12 Size would probably wind up a 43mm. I'm thinking that the RGMs are already big and thick as compared to most of my wristwatches, which are from the 1930s - 1950s, so you can guess what I'm used to wearing on my wrist vs my pocket... :^) I think that even with a slim-line case the 12 Size 43mm case is just going to look and feel like a boat anchor - which is too bad, because the 12 Size stuff is better than what RGM used. Any feedback would be appreciated. Regards, Art S.
