I have wanted this for sometime - recent HK 'purchase'.

Very nice. Is this the pre Top Gun version?

which two do you have, i have been thinking whether i should go with a spring drive model or a mechanical. the power indicator on the SD somewhat bothers me (I really hope they make one without it in the future) however i really like the smooth sweeping second hand on the SD watches.

Hi Iroh,

I have these two:

One mechanical, one SD. The chrono on the SD was always going to be a bit busy, and I rather like the power reserve! PR do work well on some models - see my IWCs:

If you need some advice, gimme a shout.

I realize how many stacks that F.P Journe is, but it does nothing for me aesthetically.

Are you mad? That Belle Époque styling makes me sweat when I look at it.

Beautiful watches...does the crown seem a little large on the one on the left?

New acquisition... been on the radar for some time, finally on the wrist

Bravo.

Indeed a real beauty. FP Journe watches are really sublime.

Thanks for the kind words. The original watch being a pilot's watch was designed to be used with gloves,so this harks back to the original watch It makes for easy winding and IMO is one of the defining features of the big pilot

Wow, that is something Quark. A lovely watch.
