I never could wear a watch because it drives me crasy to have something on one arm but not the other so I guess I would need two watches but then that would look funny. Yep I know OCD I haz it.

But I do appreciate a nice pocket watch.

That Patek is a marvel of craftsmanship, not that I would buy one even if I could afford it.
My tastes run to the more practical. Old Potatoe might even approve of this one:

I do, I like mechanical, analog watches.

OP: I know you are a Rolex fan, too but I thought his one in particular you would like. It is a Type 20 watch, which was widely used from the late 50s to the early 70s by French Air Force pilots.

This thread just turned into a watch you seek what are you wearing today thread.

True, but better than another Lance wearing Rapha thread, IMHO.

Inspite of their WWII 'history' and the mess in SEAsia, they have become a quite good fighting force, to include their AF and French Naval Aviation.

Sorry for the drift.

Fantastic video! Thanks for posting. For now I'll have to stick with my Omegas, but one day I hope to have a JLC.

The moment that I really like, but that I did not notice in this video, is when the watchmaker puts the last component of the escapement into the movement and the watch looks to have sprung to life on its own. I've seen that in some other watch making videos...
