Wonderful transaction between 3T WIS. One beautiful watch. When the weather cooperates I'll get out and take some pics. Proud new owner of one very nice rare watch.

Beautifull John! This skeleton mode is very elegant.
I shot my Revue-Thommen Carré just before so I had to pass.
Congrats!

Very beautiful skeleton, I'm normally not a fan of skels but the dial work over the skeleton movement sort of subdues the movement into the background giving great depth to the watch (if that makes any sense at all)

Thanks guys. Really liking this baby. Nice smooth wind to it also. Always hoped I could score a #1 in a Limited Edition series watch and 1 of 20 works just fine. Patrick must be chasing something very sweet to have parted ways with it.

Very nice! I like it when skeletons still have hour markers.

Glad you are liking it Skip.

True Story. I was wearing that watch when my baby girl was hospitalized at three weeks old with a antibiotic resistant e-coli infection. How she got it we can only suspect the hospital as the CDC in Charlotte NC told us that she could have only gotten it at a hospital or a foreign country and with a 16 month old and a new born, we weren't traveling further than Sam's Club to stock up on diapers. Anyway, so I'm in line getting some food at the cafeteria in this hospital (Concord, NC) and the lady serving the hot food says to me in VERY think Southern Accent "Wow! you sure got a big watch" "Why do you need such a big watch" "You like to tell time?" I kept it together and thanked her for her compliments. BTW, daughter is fine and strong like ox.

Chasing some vintage pieces so I'm clearing out a few.
I also need a new grill, mine is on its last burner, lol!

Now that is a true LE! Not like the 1/5000 LE's some brands have out there!
A really nice skeletonized Unitas as this is a great acquisition. Enjoy!

+1. I think this watch shows very exquisite craftmanship. Just look at the blue screws on the chapter ring and the way they're done. I also like the small seconds hand.....almost escaped my eye. Nice one. Big Congrats, John.
