Oooh yes, these Ingénieurs 666 are watches to get! Along with a Rolex Milgauss, an Eberhard Scientigraph, an Omega Railmaster, a Patek 3417 and a JLC Geophysic. Among a few others... These amagnetic watches, I find them fascinating. Thanks for this superb...

The vintage 666 is hard to beat...

To me this one is a real timeless, balanced timepiece with lots of hidden virtues, but valued qualities for the " cognoscenti"... Also a connoisseur's piece.. - On a personal note, I love the sober, but elegant dial and the whole appeal ! Thx for the nice...

Dear HS...
