With the correct gloves, and the appropriate car... Which is from the same era, or almost. Simple pleasures of Life... More serioulsy, why do I feel this Watch has a racing look? It has nothing to see with automotives, but still, I feel there is something...  

Dario Argento gloves ;) [nt]

Hello Nicolas, My local AD has a ref 1655 straight hand that retailed for around USD $14K. It is not everyone's cup of tea, but I do like it very much. Cheers, Ken

Question remains .. What is more Macho : man, watch or machine?.. Cool racing gloves, also

.. Yes, this 1655 is one , (Orange Hand, pls) which is still on my 2014/15 list !! Have been close to one in May, was too hesitant, as also other target(s).. - Well, you can't have them all, it appears.. Agree with you, has that little magic, letting you ... 

This is the kind of watch which deserves time to appreciate it.

And the other thing is to find yours... Not that easy, in good condition, with the right amount of patina.... Best, my friend. Nicolas

Wow Nicolas! I would say this is a picture of Steve Mc Queen´s arm! Lol!...

... Yes! It´s true! the 1655 has a racy look and the classic automobile background and the gloved hand makes for a most appropiate setting for this watch! Great shot my friend! Un abrazo, Abel.
