A couple of quick shots of the Traditionelle in Platinum

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : December 10th, 2014-00:17
I had the chance to try the Traditionelle in Platinum, Grey dial. Superb 38 mm case. Beautiful Caliber 4400 AS with the Geneva seal. Sorry for the plastic, I didnt want to rob the future owner of the pleasure to remove it The grey dial gives an edge to ...  

Superb, magnificent.......

Let me tell you a secret: I'm expecting an AP on Tuesday, will pick the next one from the Boutique on 16th January, order a Patek from their Salon for early spring delivery... And then, during the first half of 2015, Traditionelle's turn! I decided alread... 

You have a very busy schedual, Kari! :)

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : December 10th, 2014-03:07
Yes, this one is worthy a place in your stunning collection! :) Best Blomman

Busy schedule?

 
 By: dr.kol : December 10th, 2014-06:57
No, I'm taking it very easy next year. I have decided just about three watches and just a 50% deposit (plus customising work) is paid for the first one. I will be very strict next year. It is my New Year's promise. I will change my acquisition plan only i...

I wish you best of luck, Kari! Each year I think the very same thing. Each year I fail misserably..... Best Blomman

That is a beautiful watch....

.....if only it was 40 years old, I would hunt it! Classically beautiful.

Too young for you...?

I thought that only applied on girls! ;) Best Blomman

It fits your wrist perfectly...

 
 By: Mike H : December 10th, 2014-08:47
Think of it, it is a superb watch : wonderful dial, wonderful movement, perfect size for your wrist, elegant and versatile. In short: when do you get one ? I mean it... Best, Mike

Hay Mike! :)

Missed you last time I was in town... Yes, this watch is perfect for me in many senses except one.... My wallet :( Have been quite busy year for me. But who knows what Santa or 2015 will bring! :) Best, my friend Blomman

What I don't understand, Blomman...

 
 By: respo : December 10th, 2014-08:56
...is how you have thus far resisted VC! You have been showing us some of the most delectable VCs recently, this platinum gray dial Traditionelle included, and yet none of them has landed permanently on your wrist. This must be a sweet torture for you. An... 

Dear Respo, I have no good answer for you...

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : December 11th, 2014-00:32
I guess the vintage Monkey on my back saved me from loosing myself in too many modern wonders...! ;) Na, I really don't know how it even possible that I still haven't a single VC in my collection! Maybe it is like your first kiss, you wait for the perfect... 

Yes, that one is very pleasant. The dial, the movement, the case.

The only issue is the retail... Best, Nicolas

I really like the wristshot....

 
 By: WHL : December 10th, 2014-20:25
which captured the vividness of the frosted half of the hands. Would you choose this VC over one of those 1966 GP's you have been coveting? Bill

That is a good question, Bill....

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : December 11th, 2014-00:42
I think I would rather go with a GP 1966 before this Traditionelle... One reason would be that my collection miss a really classic time only, while this one is of a more modern design. What speaks for the Traditionelle is the movement which I find much mo... 

Very very beautiful

 
 By: agyzace : December 10th, 2014-21:42
currently this watch torments me since I am thinking between this one, the Patek World timer (5130P), and the Breguet 5177bb. All different classic watches, but all very beautiful. Thank you for sharing the pics. They are very nice indeed. All the best, A... 

My pleasure, Alexandros!

Yes, there are so many temptations.... Hard to make a desicion. Hope you will findout which one is for you! Best Blomman

I love this VC Traditionelle in platinum

Your wrist shot is fantastic! really shows the beauty of this watch as best as it could be! Thanks for sharing Blomman. If i don't already have the RG version of the Traditionelle, this platinum one would be on my wishlist :) Cheers Robin

Of the different metals, the PL is my favorite

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : December 11th, 2014-09:33
But of course, I wouldn't mind having the RG version! :) Thank you, my friend! Best Blomman

Wonderful piece in Platinum

 
 By: Watchlover78 : December 11th, 2014-08:32
And the Caliber is very beautiful. Thank you for the nice photos. Best regards, Baxter

You are welcome, Baxter! :)

A beauty like this is always a pleasure to share! :) Best Blomman

A timeless classic and one of the most beautiful

 
 By: kpk : December 14th, 2014-04:42
three hand dress watches around today. The boutique version with Guilloche dial is also very nice. I have the regular PG version and love it.

Agree...

Congrats on the PG version! :) Any pics to share? Best Blomman
