The Value Proposition: The Longines Column-Wheel, Single-Push-Piece Chronograph Reference L2.800.4.5
There aren’t too many more inherently refined animals in the horological bestiary than monopusher, two-register, column-wheel chronographs. They have a certain archaic fascination – I suppose you could say that about just about any mechanical watch, as far as that goes, but the single-button chronograph is the earliest type of chronograph watch mechanism, and the column wheel the earliest known type of control system for switching on and off, and for reset. 1 OF 6 Vintage monopusher chronographs from major names like Patek Philippe can go for – well, see for yourself; and while there has been a bit of an increase in the number of monopusher chronographs at the less costly end of the spectrum in recent years (not that less than $5 million is setting the bar very high for “less costly”) like this very nice one from IWC that launched this year, they still have a bit of an aura of exclusivity, which, naturally, things like this monopusher rattrap

Got 15400, eyeing for 15450..
Hi all, just bought AP RO 15400, need the 1.5 link to make it comfy. I think it fits my puny 6.5 wrist but cant help to think it is too big from time to time. Now I'm thinking to get white dial 15450 to complement this piece. Is it too small? Do you guys think it is redundant? Anyone has the two of them together at their collection? Any help is appreciated. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

I can't decide. 5205R or 5712R
Hey guys!Need some help. Which watch would you choose for your everyday?5205R black dial or the 5712R on strap.I'm trying to cut down my collection and trying to get one watch to do it all or most of everyday duties. This will be my first Patek. Most recent watches have been the Rolex Skydweller everrose on strap, Skydweller yellow gold on bracelet, Panerai 569, Pam 351, 372 and AP ROO safari and Panda. TIA.Frank
