Not that I would object to any of these, I too would choose the Tryptych without hesitation.

That Tourbi Sky Moon from Patek 4. Vacheron 'Tour de L'ile 5. IWC G. Complication 6. Blancpain

BUT, No1. Triptych is my choice too!... and, Franck Muller for the extraordinary horological achievements (but not esthetical for me at all)

Patrick, nice piece you are showing... I see there aren't many Belgium guy playing the lottery ;-) still enough for the winner to get a small complication... LOL
Do you still have that Zenith I think you posted a year or so ago...?  I like that one in PVD!!!

i never was a lucky winner on lotteries, so i had to 'work' for the IWC

the Zenith you were talking about has been swapped a month ago for a Panerai 213 rattrapante, it was almost impossible to find a buyer even if i liked the dial of it very much, then a dealer proposed me a switch for the Pam and I accepted as the value was even and i can sell the Pam much easier if i want to, it's a shame that Zenith's are so underrated in the market (not talking about the 'defy' collection) but i guess Mr. Nataff is making the brand to much 'fashionable' instead of concentrating on the watchmaking skills of the brand ....

I hear you >

I too find it shame that the brand isn't any more what it used to be and stood for!  But that one you had was to me an exception, a real nice piece!

I have to agree with Brandons findings (and apperantly the rest of us here) as to the winner (perhaps better usage of a word would be prefered choice) in this great company of the magnificent seven achivements of the utmost horological scale.  As unatianable to mere mortals are they all - they are as impressive to experts and collectors alike.
