Beautiful! I don't understand why people say 36mm is small. I think the 1803 looks very elegant

Hi everyone. I inherited a circa '65. The bracelet is a bit too flashy for my age so I'm currently looking for some fine leather. Cheers!

Imo, of course...

I couldn't disagree more; for me the President bracelet really adds so much to the watches..

If you say so but especially in white gold the bracelet is unobtrusive.

Shouldn't the no lume dials have no lume hands? I always thought they went together. And wide boy dials should have wide boy hands. No?

Great thread. Some beautiful pieces here. This is next on the list. I have been looking at dress watches of late, but I am hopelessly obsessed with vintage Rolex, so the logical choice would be an 1803. I have a nice strap collection so I see this as being worn on a strap exclusively. I have moved away from gold and sold of all my gold and TT pieces. I miss having something in gold to wear. I have been looking "casually" for a good condition 1803 head. Time to step up the search activity.

Thanks for the encouragement/enabling......

Question for 1803 owners. I am about receive my first 1803 and wondering if most choose to use a winder and if so what model of choice? This will not be a daily wearer.

No. The interaction with the day-date mechanism is part of the vintage charm of an irregularly worn 1803. Sitting and turning the crown for five minutes provides time for contemplation of things you wouldn't otherwise have had time to consider.

These two have helped to keep me sane in this respect.

Years ago a wise man told me the ritual of winding his 6694 was his moment of zen and reflection for the day.

After receiving it setting the day-date wasn't half as bad as I thought. The wife fell in love with it so it probably will be getting more wrist time than I anticipated

Installed Mastermixer's solid 18k end links today and I'm very pleased. They fit great to the case which I was most concerned about. Highly recommended.
