I didn’t plan on pairing the two originally but it works.

brminpinI love how this thread is still very active. Lots of great watches being shared. I haven't been sharing much since it's a pain to host pictures but I'm an active lurker.
This is one of my recent acquisitions, Glashutte Original PanoMaticLunar XL with a gray dial.

jhe888That Glashutte is great. A watch with a moon phase is on my want list. Jaeger LeCoultre makes one in their slim line that I like.

r0gueNice! The 90-2 is I'm sure the more desirable and complex. I've always had a hankering for a 65-1. Though as of yet I've stayed consistent in my preference for a more symmetrical dial, I am wavering more and more as time goes on. I don't know why. Perhaps curiosity.

Gently used, can be found under $7k for the older models like mine with the "12" on the dial. I hardly ever buy new. I find used watches in this price range are overall, pretty gently used.

I can just make out the last few letters of what looks like "Fortis" above the day/date window, partially covered by the hour hand.

r0gueDitched the blue strap it came with and dropped in a suede top stitch. Inspired a little photo shoot. Tried to get the fire blued hands to present.

jhe888Good choice, rOgue.

That's a good looking combo rogue.

"The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them. At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw and half a hundred other places, they put their rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind."
