I picked this B&R up from Tom(sigsauer) a few weeks ago and Tom is one of the most laid back guys I have ever met!....TY Tom for such a smooth transaction and some great converstions! The Geneva 123 is a throwback design to Aviator watches of the past and it's dial work with enameled hands and arabics is flawless....as is the AR/UV coated saph crystalwatch2.gifThe engine is a fully deorated chronometer caliber based on a eta 2895 and runs and winds with ease...the caseback with little exhibition window that reveals the balance wheel is very cool(pic later) and the spirotechnique caseback work is phenominal...the bracelet is handmade and one of the best I have seen to date....TY TOM!yourock.gif   |

This tribute to the past has given rise to the creation of a model that is classic in style and modern in its elaboration: the Vintage 123 automatic watch.
