A 'quick n dirty' post on why I love the ref. H40

 
 By: Mr.Gatsby : December 1st, 2013-08:42
Gentlemen, first and foremost let me just say that this is my first post on the RD forum here at The Purists. Id have put in more thought on this maiden post if not for time constraint. Still, I am very much compelled to write this post albeit with some ...  

Quick, yes, but dirty?

These are outstanding images of a spectacular watch. Really, and excellent representative of the formative era of RD, with lots of DNA from RD-the-man, all packed into a package full of vitality and emotion. I'd love to see a wrist shot of this watch! Che... 

Here you go :-)

This would be a 'dirty' wrist shot off my instagram -- the very first time strapping it on!! The leather strap is a little too long for my 6.5 inch wrist, so I can't tell for sure, however as of now, it is very comfortable. ...  

Hi Mr Gastby ...

I've been poisoned by that friend of mine, HAHA

The pictures are revealing and appealing. This is a dangerous place to visit. Toooooo many temptations. Thanks for sharing. Bill

Pleasure is mine Bill

I am happy to share amateur but deep appreciation for the Hommage series. Some of these watches are still priced relatively accessible. I would think any sensible and discerning collector would have picked them up and eventually driving the price up but n... 

Excellent catch, my dear friend. Awesome Chrono.

Yes, you are right, there is a delicious life outside the 5070! Huge congratulations. Nicolas

Merci mon ami, I must say I've learnt a lot from you

 
 By: Mr.Gatsby : December 1st, 2013-12:07
Your review of the 5070, datograph and duometre had led me on the hunt. You are an amazing critic on watches which over the years I've learnt to understand your philosophy a bit more but more importantly enjoy your findings and insights. You also had a pa... 

Beautiful watch. Enjoy it. RD is one of my favorite brands ......

Lovely piece Gatsby...

and I like your pocket square as well :) Sam

What a find..

 
 By: fernando : December 2nd, 2013-00:36
and a huge congrats! The hommage series are not commonly seen with only 28pcs of each model. I too find them to exhibit the true essence of the RD brand, in an understated sort of way that I find appealing. Enjoy this beauty with my best wishes. fernando

Keep away from this friend...

...it would be very expensive for you :-) ok, but seriously: You did everything right and all your arguments are completely comprehensible. Enjoy your piece of art! stere

Wow

Who dares corrupting you with this poisonous yet lovely specimen? The guilloche dial is to die for! Now if only this is the beginning of a long and hopefully fruitful journey... Well done my dear friend! :-)

Great RD

Big congratulations on acquiring such a nice piece. I love this one as well as so many of the '90s and early '00s RD hommage pieces. The attention to detail is stunning. It must have excellent wrist presence, and I'm sure the rose gold and black dial real... 

Congratulations Gatsby. The Hommage is definitely..

one of the nicest chronograph on the market today, I have been looking for one, saw few and all went before I could even say: Hi, I am very interested. I am still looking for a white metal one but I guess I'll be looking for a long, long time;) Cheers Fra... 

I need to have one of these!

Don't know how to find this watch but it really looks fantastic. Hope I'll be able to find one for sale and have the means to buy when the opportunity arises! I could stare at this piece all day..
