    The Portuguese line is by far my favorite of any watch family from any company. My wish list is heavily populated with models past and present: PPC, Jubilee, Hand Wound, and, of course, the Minute Repeater. For now, I am lucky to have a couple of models. You've all seen the watches before but today I was inspired by Bill to take some new photos. Here are a couple that I like.

    For those interested in the details: Nikon D700 with a Nikkor PC 85. Shot with available light in Aperture Priority mode.

    Have a good weekend everyone.

    Beautiful, both of them.
    The Yacht Club is just the right thing for the Swiss Riviera.

    David, Very nice shots, you are making me miss a Yacht Club more everyday.
    Hope the new one gets here before too long.

    Enjoy your weekend.

    Regards,
    Kevin

    In that case, I'm in very good company. :-)

    My next watch (which may be a while) will almost certainly have a silvered dial. Apologies to Henry.

    David, the change in dial colour needs to be gradual, there are other colours to buy before you qualify to purchase a silver dial! LOL:-)))
