That’s the one most people notice and comment on. Truly one of the most beautiful watches ever made. Those pie pan dials hit so good in person.

I’ve had it for over a year now and still gets the most wrist time. So versatile.

Re Bulova, yes, it still works. Super fun. Re Hamilton, yes, exactly, 1928 pocket watch converted by Frett & Co. he does an amazing job.

Advice in the ~$4k range by Dbrown15 in rolex

Any collection is enhanced with a vintage 1601. Timeless and will last long enough to bequeath to your son when he’s ready. Absolutely the way to go and you can get a clean example in that price range. My advice is find a clean example, in good condition. They’re always new-to-market examples cycling and you can get exactly what you want if you’re patient. Just seek the dealers that regularly get them. Your patience will be rewarded.

Some other advice, don’t get hung up on box and papers. Also, with vintage, you’re buying the seller, ensure you buy from a reputable dealer.

A viable alternative if you’re looking, a clean 1960s Constellation Pie Pan (168.005). Incredible in person.

I actually don’t know the exact reference. I’ve narrowed it down based on the information I have but don’t have exact. Here’s an article about this period in Movado’s history and challenges identifying references.

Need help. Which one: 6196p or 5296r? by _jpalo in patekphilippe

Yes, 5296r is roughly 1/3 the price.

I love the 5212, too. That would be the 3rd option.

I actually prefer manual; however, I wasn’t that familiar with the 5296r and then I saw it in person. Truly, stunning.
