My Holy Trinity

Before some Vacheron lover comes threatening removal of my first born Rolex, this is what will be my holy trinity for years to come. I know ALS is not swiss and Vacheron are lovely, but I am still happy with this bunch. All quite different but very contemporary.

Nice!

Great minds think alike, I have a similar setup (not quite! speedy instead of the ALS)

Maybe someday, enjoy

Very nice Craig and I also have Lange Sohne right at top next to Patek! I have owned VC's in past and they are not the same to me as Patek and Lange. Congrats again on your new Lange!

Maybe not the "Holy" trinity, but still a cracking trinity nonetheless.
That said, learn to white balance your camera! You'll find it in the settings under WB.

Great trio, I am thinking of going a similar route, Aquanaut and then a RG Patek perpetual calendar as a dress watch with perhaps a RO as a go between to cover all the bases.

I rotate them all and those in the signature once a week. When they are new like the ALS they tend to get a month straight before the rotation. I got to say I like them all equally, but the blue ALS and the detail on the PP dial are very cool.
