My first Dornbluth
My first Dornbluth 99.3 and what a wonderfully crafted and spectacular piece. I have been looking for this bird for a while and it is definitely worth the wait. Love the blue hands and the perfect size at 42mm. Now I just need to wait for the new gator straps to arrive

Congrats Fred, that is a awesome with you got there my friend. I love the bracelet on my 99.1 but I have strap on my others.
Dornbluth is a very great brand and a very customerfriendly company. Here is my ones. 99.1 on bracelet. Regulator with a custom dial and strap. 99.0 bronze one of 15 with a custom strap.

Great watches in this thread! Although I don't have one of their references myself, I've been keeping an eye on Dornblueth & Sohn for several years. I like both their designs and their old-school approach, but I want to see if they'll do more in-house movements. Does anyone have one have a Quintus?

Beautiful piece. It looks like it wears bigger than its 42mm size.

I think this beaut wears like an IWC 5001 Portuguese. Some really refined details on this bird..
The bracelet is very high quality with superb comfort: The blue hands and the sub dial details are very nicely executed: Cloudy day versus an slightly off-white dial is beautiful: |

That's a great looking Regulator, Jocke.
I'm in the process of customizing a Auf & Aub. These are great watches. |
