The penultimate Dornblueth!.....(modem burner)....
Following more than a year wait (or a year in the making) I received this piece today: Dornblueth 04.0 RG in display box As many know, Dirk Dornblueth made a limited series of 75 watches in Cal. 04.4. The 38mm case size is more desirable for many than the...
Congratulations on the new acquisition
My reference to the avatar was simply that I assumed you had a soft spot for Dirk D. A good friend of my also waited a good long time for one similar to yours but in the larger 99 case which had done in Platinum and had the subsecond dial deleted. It a re...
Congrats!
The applied numbers are very attractive. - SJX
You have great taste.
The dornblueth that you have chosen is absolutely stunning! Godspeed, Scott D

That is really a beauty !
I'm just wondering if rose gold hands would pep it up even more? Don
Don, interesting that you mention this....
Actually, I intended to have gold hands as well. There was a failure of communication between us (we corresponded about the hands and the cost, etc. but when it arrived it was minus the gold hands!). He sent me a photo about the same time the package ship...
I think the interplay between the black background . . .
. . . counterpoised against the rose gold case and raised numerals on the one hand and the white dial printing and hands on the other are in perfect balance, gentlemen The aesthetic tension created by the white hands would be diminished had they been wrou...
A truly distinctive piece!
Your great vision is only rivaled by Dornblüth's stellar execution. Enjoy it, and thank you for sharing!
Beautiful....
just beautiful.. I think I drooled a little when viewing your post. The 04.0 is to begin with a sublime stunner, and your modifications make it even more tasteful. Love those applied numerals, and the rose gold looks very nice with a black dial. It would ...
