Incoming from Spain, with a stop in LA
Thanks to Philippe Capurro at ExoticWatches, and then Edvi and the boys at LA Watchworks, it’s finally home after a crystal-swap, and some light case cleaning-up.
Something about a domed, plexi crystal and a fading-to-blue insert is just so intoxicating Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The date almost disappears without a cyclops, but the dome gives it a certain charm! Sweet case and patina.

Thank you...
Hi Andy,
Thank you for your reply. I will be at LAWW coming week and I will ask for the "reprofiled OEM" T19 for the 5513; I love the look on your White Sub-Date. While you are in LA, check out Animal restaurent. Since you are from Spain, it is a tapas-style/inspired dishes that are very interesting. Enjoy your stay... you and your 1680 sock up the So Cal sun! |

And I’ve actually been to Animal. It was delicious, but, 5 years later, I’m still recovering! Without question, the richest meal I’ve ever had. |

Big congrats! But where's the Top Hat?! Still looks great, of course.

Aaron, it's in a drawer with the Top Hat from my girlfriend's 1680. And while she's not a watch enthusiast at all, she absolutely loves her Sub and wanted to learn all about it....you know, in case someone asks. (Though she refers to the T19 by saying "I wanted an anti-cyclops crystal on mine.")

Very nice example! The dome plexi just magnifies the creamy plots and hands. Excellent choice!
