schön gebastelt ...

Falls Du meinen Wecker gemeint hast, würde mich doch sehr interessieren, wie Du diese gewagte Aussage manifestierst...

all right

Da ist nämlich wirklich nix gebastelt, ausser dass vor 2 Jahren ein neues Original-Tritium-Blatt und ein neuer Original-Tritium-Zeigersatz (beide angeblich die letzten, die zu bekommen waren) rein kamen.
Ergo 100% Original-Zustand.
Nach genau dem Wecker hab ich vor längerer Zeit jahrelang gesucht...

Und: Kompliment zurück! Dein Chrono ist ein Traum!

Can you say a little something about this watch?

sure, here you go


De Luca (first series), black dial, ofcourse El Primero movement.

I prefered the first series because

- the plexi dial. Sapphire might be better in the way that it does not scratch but doomed plexi can be so beautifull

- the text on the dial. I wanted as less words as possible so only the first series did not mention 'El Primero' and 'chronograph'

- the hour markers that are rectangular and not the rounds dots

- the hands which are very nice on this black version. I did not want the Rolex style Mercedes hands. The hands on the first series white dial De Luca are also nice ( AP RO and PP Nautilus style) but the dauphine are imo the most beautifull on this piece

- no screw down pushers for the chronograpgh ( start / stop and reset pushers)




AFAIK these De Luca watches were made between 1988 and 1996. Since this is a first edition it must be from 1988 or 1989. I also found more about the production numbers on the net

the 01.0042.400 (mine) was made in 1055 pieces in total. 375 in 1988 and 680 in 1989.
