I've actually seen #150 of the lunaire in person. They're both stunning in their own right.

#1 is really special though, at least to me. Not sure how many others feel that way!

Huge congrats! Love it. One of my favorite modern chronographs and the black dial is the star.

If you have serious interest send me a PM please. I am open to reasonable offers at a substantial discount to what it cost me new two months ago.

Huge congrats Ben, love this piece, I was considering getting one, exactly the same, one month ago, decided to pass, but it is an amazing piece, maybe one day as I agree with you, Duos are an amazing part of high horology, and they are really lovely, funny you got it from Roger. Wear it in great health

Of course, I would love to have No1 of a model I love, who wouldn't, it's quite special...

Too bad I have my RG piece in the 5167R and that my watch funds are dry, if not I would have gotten it, I love how it looks, but it wouldn't be reasonable...

Thanks Arnauld. This one fits in my collection to a T as I have quite many RG piece and do not have a WG one. I miss the subtle and understated beauty of White Gold.

Here's sharing another pic






Roger, as I told you, I will do full justice to the beauty of this watch photo-wise.

I get that Ben, love having different materials, once I get the Voutilainen I will be missing only a platinum watch, too bad the Datograph sits badly on my wrist, I would have gotten the 39mm, but it sits awfully, don't know which one but I do want a PT watch, the only material I don't want is YG

Beware of Roger though. He's bad news for the pocket book.

It is a great watch for sure and I was pleased to see it go to a good home. I continue to reduce my collection to a manageable number of watches that I will wear very regularly. I hate seeing beautiful watches languishing in a safe unworn for months at a time.

I have got to stop coming here or I will decide to get one, they are awesome and Ben's pics are killing it, but I have spent already too much in watches for at least 2 years...
