    what a lovely platinum version of the VC Portofino! I love the blue sky... makes it so much more attractive than the regular BC Portofino.

    Shing... honestly... hanging out with you is just as dangerous if not more. If you couldn't tell by now, I have been trying to avoid you! LOL. j/k.

    see you next time.

    Hi Nad,
    I see that you got the crown changed. I hope it's easier to wind your watch now. Thanks for posting this beauty.

    Hi KS,

    Yes, I did the crown change after the SIHH earlier this year!

    I think I included this info in a previous post. Here's the original and new crown side-by-side:

    Superb photos NAD of a grand timepiece.

    I remember you speaking to KarlHeinz Baumann at SIHH about the crown and dificulty to wind the watch with it. Look great with the new crown by the way too!

    I especially like photo number 2 in the series.

    Best regards
    Mark

    Wonderful watches! Both versions are quite special, and the rose gold looks fantastic too. A pity you can't have, and wear them all...

    Kind regards,
    Paul
