very nice, those no-date are highly sought after.

I wish the lugs were like 2mm shorter on each side and it would fit my wrist. Definitely been on my wish list for a long time.

Lovely and I'm impressed ! LLD No Date , a spitting image of its ancestor Ref 7042.
The prices on these watches are slowly creeping up....

I’m lucky enough to have large wrists so it fits me like a glove.

At a length of 52mm I would not recommend this watch to anyone with a small wrist...

But on my 8" wrist it works perfectly...

The gentle downward sloping of the lugs hugs the wrist and gives it a superb fit...

And the "Domed" sapphire crystal is gorgeous...!!!

And it is keeping crazy good time...It has been gaining only a few seconds a month...Honest...!!!

I had the "Date" version which was very nice indeed...But I much prefer the "No-Date"...

And I can't help but feel that the value you get for your $$$ is exceptional...Although the "No-Date" examples are becoming crazy expensive...
