Nice. Are you the original owner?

No but it has been in the family for 21 years. Bought from an uncle.

That’s kind of the point IMO. It does the job and does so very well.

Like a Big Mac - perfectly fundamental and functional.

Only on SF would luxury watches be compared to garbage fastfood burgers.

Well we do consider Richemont to be trash so what do you expect.

Like a Big Mac - perfectly fundamental and functional.

Couldn't agree more. Even the modern OP Ref 124300 with silver dial is a stunner.

I do this to my watches every now again just to to test them.

I can’t get down with the double-stick configurations on 36 OPs. There’s something not quite right about the case shape too - not a fan. I much prefer the 36 DJ at the slightly fancier end of the spectrum, or the Explorer I at the more casual end.

Happy with this at the moment, though:

So much better than OP (imho)!
