I'm really loving this piece so far. The next level comfort factor seems to come up a lot. Deservedly so. I'm really finding the lack of a seconds hand to be quite liberating. If I have a quibble it's that the crown really feels quite diminutive, almost to the point of being cumbersome, but it's a minor quibble. Overall though, I just love looking down and seeing this thing on my wrist. Puts a little skip in my step.

I can agree about the crown. Now imagine the same crown without a quickset date and you have an AP Jumbo lol

My fingers have never felt as large as they do when I'm setting this watch. Aesthetically, it's the right choice but it takes getting used to.

Hi, looks like I found some other PF micro fans. It’s really something! Nice pictures, I’d like to see more.

Bumping a little life into this thread. I've had trouble taking this thing off lately.

Still need to try one of these on.

Comfort wise, what would you give it out of 10?

I'd give it a 9.75. In some instances I feel the pushers on the clasp dig into the underside of my wrist. "Dig in" might be an overstatement, but at times I notice their presence. This is really picking nits, and it is still the most comfortable watch on a bracelet that I've ever experienced.

I rate it 9. But it’s the most comfortable piece I own.

Things I dislike no extension on the bracelet. Crown too small makes it difficult to pull and adjust date and time.

The crown is my only real quibble with the watch. Even then it can be somewhat forgiven because it's the right aesthetic, but I do find it somewhat frustrating to pull out.

Wrist shot at dusk. The Tonda PF gets by just fine without lume.

I really like how clean the dial is.

Does anyone here own both the Tonda PF Micro Rotor as well as a Czapek Antarctique? I have both on order, but, depending on timing, I suspect my wife is only going to green light one of the purchases. I was hoping someone who owns both or has experience with both could give me their opinion of the two compared to each other.

I own a Czapek but also absolutely love the PF. Honestly don't think you can go wrong with either.

I just received my Tonda PF micro rotor.

The comfort factor is out of this world. Hands down the most comfortable watch i have worn. More comfortable than AP RO, PP 5711 etc. i can't take it off.

I’ve never owned the 15202 or 5711, but have had both on a few times. And caveating with that, I agree with you.

Let’s see some pics!

I think the 15202 Hallmark is the bracelet. When I first played with one I thought it didn't feel great but once I owned it, I thought it was great. I know most say how great the nautilus bracelet is, but I never cared for it, feels a bit tinny to me like 5 digit rolexes. Aesthetics of the PF bracelet aside, it is very comfortable, not sure how they did it.

Congrats! I haven't had the privilege of trying the other pieces you've mentioned, but agree that comfort of the PF is top notch. Actually the only watch that has bested it for me in terms of comfort is its baby brother, the Tonda GT.

Here you go

The subtle details in the dial is what makes this piece so special IMO. What a stealthy watch

I placed a deposit on the GMT rattrapante yesterday after extensive research and overwhelming excitement built.

There is and still remains a lot about Michel Parmigiani I didn’t know and glad I went on that journey.

Check out the interview Guido Terreni did with Jeremy Oster on Keeping Time podcast.
