Vintage 1945 Large Date, Moon-Phases, Mechanics of Art Deco Pink Gold
By: blomman Mr Blue : December 20th, 2014-02:51
Friends, I think many of us got captured by the Vintage 1945 with Sapphire dial! We already had a detailed look on the Steel version, now I thought we should have a closer look on the Pink Gold version. The Pink gold adds some more color to the watch. But...
You are coming around, my friend! :)

You see, there is room for colored metal in our collections as well! :) Honestly, I am a bit surprised here. Was sure I would prefer the Steel, but after looking at the Gold version in real.... Best Blomman

The SS version without any doubt

The concept of see-through dial and the contemporary style work much better with a neutral colour imho. Thanks for the post Blomman. Fx
I am torn here....

Think both works great! Thank you, Fx! Best Blomman
The RG version looks nicer IMHO

The dial seems more alive, contrast more obvious and the moonphase is definitely nicer. Overall a warmer and more "romantic" look. The steel version looks more technical and also very nice of course. The RG version pips it in my view Great pics and report...
Romantic! Thank you, that was the word....
By: blomman Mr Blue : December 20th, 2014-10:23
I was looking for! :) Agree, Robin! But the question is if romantic take over..... OK, so far 2 - 1 for the Steel... Thank you, my friend Best Blomman
RG - The moon phase really pulled me in.

Also, I think the contrast of the gold hands and numerals give more depth overall. Steel in the photo is cool, but perhaps too cool for me.
OK, 2 - 2!
By: blomman Mr Blue : December 20th, 2014-10:24
So, it is a tie so far! :) Agree on the contrast. Best Blomman
Your 2015 Goal...?! :)

Full gold - not everybody can pull that off! ;) All the best for the weekend, my friend! Blomman
great pieces both but

Dear Blomman, SS for me. It feels as if the bling factor for the rose gold would eventually wear away. That watch model deserves to be worn often just bcoz it's so cool.
tried on a 1945 chronograph at an AD the other day...

And totally fell in love with the shape of the case. It grasped my wrist as if it was tailor made for me, and can't wait to try the sapphire dial big date version! SS for me; although the rose gold version is more colorful and animated. Perhaps I would ha...
cannot agree more with you Nico...

... what was the last time you saw a truly innovative design in such a simple execution? GP 1945 sapphire dial is certainly the way to go, kudos to the creative geniuses behind it...
I concur
By: iadxb : December 29th, 2014-13:03
Though personally I'd still go for the 1945 GP, this one is equally, if not more, impressive...
Welcome here, Iadxb!

Happy to hear you discovered the Vintage 1945! :) The fit on wrist is just like a glove. Love how the case follows your wrist! Yes, the Sapphire dial is just amazing. Please let us know once you have tried it on your wrist! Best Blomman
