 By: blomman Mr Blue : October 25th, 2014-09:16
Friends, Sorry for my radio silence the last few days, I had a very stressful week with Family emergency. It is not really over yet, but at least stable enough to give me a couple of minutes to put a post I had prepared for you online. I like to give you ...  

Superb. I think I know another one, here in Paris. ;)

Excellent movement, too. Love these Vintage Chronos, a lot. Bravo, my friend. Nicolas

939470 is the serial number of the one I know.

SN engraved Inside the case back, same movement. Different indexes and hands, though.... ...  

Very close serial number...

But on mine, the number is on the outside of the case back. Yes, hope to see this one soon! ;) Best Blomman

With great pleasure. [nt]

I am counting on you, my friend! :) Best Blomman

.. Although the Olimpico Chrono is an appreciated piece, to me - this 6557 Chrono here is a very nice sample with a balanced appeal, and an interesting " aura"; Thanks for the share, and Best wishes, to you and yours ! hs

The 6557 is more elegant IMO...

Than the Olimpico. Even if they are similar it is hard to compare the two... That is why you need both! ;) Thank you, my friend. Best Blomman

Lucky & happy, who has achieved the Duo !.. My abs fav so far has been the Olimpico.. :)

JLC which we both share a lot of pieces from - the more you learn, the more you realize how little you know... GP is no exception! So many treasures to uncover! :) Hard? Takes time? Well, in my experience - the longer the hunt, the sweeter your feelings w... 

Ok, Touché .. Every journey begins with the first step .. There is one more thing..

.. I find the Ref-System incl Calibers quite complex & hard to remember ! So we will see .. Best, hs

...and appropriate number...
