The distinctive dials further feature a base-1000 tachymeter on billig tag heuer ure the perimeter and a red crosshair that continues from the central axis to bisect the running seconds sub-dial. Massena told me that the red crosshair on the main dial is actually a subtly different color than the red lines of the running seconds. "If we went with the same color all the way across, it wouldn't look the same – your eyes play a trick on you – so we had to change one in order to ensure a smooth transition."For the purpose of this three-decade-in-the-making hands-on, I picked a modern iteration of the simplest Casio Databank I could find, the CA53W-1. Think bare-bones, black resin, no backlight. Technically, it's not even a true Databank as this specific model won't let you store anything. But you do get to add, subtract, multiply, and divide.Before a recent resurgence in popularity, the classic, dress-styled Patek Philippe wristwatch was considered to be nothing more than an "old man" watch. This criticism has even been levied against watches like the ref. 1518 – to some, one of the most iconic watches ever produced, yet to others, it gives off a vibe that only a grandfather can pull off. I have always loved small watches and, as a bigger guy, have received disparaging comments while wearing them.
One of the coolest things about this watch though is the lume. When you turn off the lights (or, you know, go diving more than a few meters below the surface), you're répliques de montres greeted by a bright blue glow from almost every marking on the dial. However, there are also a few little flashes of green and orange to help you orient the running seconds hand and track the watch's temperature. It's a really nice execution that gives the watch as much personality in the dark as it has in the light.But I had no money. Even at £12, it was beyond a boy with weekly pocket money of £1.10 (10p for every year of my age). I remember going into that cramped little shop and asking the man behind the counter if it was possible to keep it to one side for me until I could afford to buy it. It was not, he said. It was that kind of shop. That kind of town.
History aside, when I had the chance to handle all three nep loro piana of these QPs together, the question was simple: if I could buy one – and only one – which would it be, and why? Here are the watches I put to the test:While we might've known something like the 5968R was coming eventually, I'm not sure many people expected the Aquanaut Luce, and I think that makes it even better. It's in a 40mm Aquanaut case, which Patek refers to as its ladies' line.

What's more and something I've always found interesting about this example is the original caseback sticker link that reads "Limited Edition." I've long wondered where the very idea of "limited edition" watches came from but I have to think this is one of link its earliest link uses at least being referred to as such by the brand itself! I also happen to believe that this reference 104601-1 - in rose gold with a glossy black dial is one of the most beautiful watches of the period. link
