I did a quick search and it seems that Nomos did make the Ludwig in YG once. Also seems that there is one for sale in this forum! Will not hijack the AP thread but let's continue on PM!

Great pickup Carl.

SearChart · 11 October 2013, 04:59 PM

Congratulations Carl! That is a very beautiful addition to your superb vintage collection.

Cru Jones · 11 October 2013, 07:44 PM

GORGEOUS! i must say, carl, this is one of your finest, if not finest, scores yet. the technical and aesthetic elements combined with the heritage of the brand and how it suits your taste and collection, just stunning. well done.

and thanks for the great write up, too.

oh, and, time to post in this thread: http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=177896 !

AK797 · 11 October 2013, 09:35 PM

That's a great piece, congrats my friend! And as Mike and I always say there is nothing quite like AP gold and esp a gold bezel, my ROC says a big hey too!

Demonoid · 11 October 2013, 10:32 PM

Love the simplicity Carl. So elegant.... Pure class. Great choice by the way. I knew you were going to pull something beautiful like this. Enjoy it in the best of health.

FeelingTheBlues · 12 October 2013, 12:35 AM

Thank you kindly guys, it sure is one purchase I'm very proud of (though I'm proud of all my watches, of course...

).

I'll take more pictures later today!

FeelingTheBlues · 12 October 2013, 07:03 AM

I feel like I must post a little something in this thread to thank a friend of mine. David Farkas, also known as perpetualman88, knew about my desire to purchase an Audemars Piguet watch and I sent him a few private messages over the past weeks to discuss about it. Although I didn't buy it from him, the man was very kind, knew how to treat me with respect and has had a patience that was out of this world! He gave me great advice and I wouldn't hesitate a second to do business with him, thank you my friend!

And here's the last set of pictures.

Peeking out of a sleeve (though it's not a shirt...

).

Hand in jeans' pocket...

Until next time, I'm off!

Félicitations Carl,

Vraiment une belle pièce ! Passe un beau week-end, on se croirait presqu'en été ;)

Watchcentric · 12 October 2013, 07:33 AM

Congratulations, but not my style. I'm not into watches long enough to appreciate this I guess.

Does this model has a story behind it, was it some kind of milestone in the history of watchmaking or in AP's history? Just trying to understand why it's special.

Thanks.

nick c · 12 October 2013, 07:53 AM

Congrats Carl very nice

Submarino · 12 October 2013, 07:54 AM

Congrats Carl! Fantastic find!!! I'm feeling the blues now.

FeelingTheBlues · 12 October 2013, 07:34 PM

Thank you very much all!

Dom, tres belle journee hier en effet...dommage que j'ai un rhume...

bayerische · 12 October 2013, 07:37 PM

I like it a lot Carl!

What movement is in that one? Piaget?

bayerische · 12 October 2013, 07:40 PM

Never mind Carl, just saw it is a Jaeger LeCoultre!

travisb · 12 October 2013, 07:59 PM

Very classy, Carl!

Tony-GB · 12 October 2013, 10:49 PM

Congratulations. Absolutely exquisite.

Vipes · 12 October 2013, 10:51 PM

Thank you for your comment, I bought this watch because I really found it nice and it was something I wanted to add to my collection but I'm afraid that's all I can say about it. It doesn't mean anything more than that and wasn't bought to celebrate anything, I just liked it.

orangedial · 13 October 2013, 03:20 AM

That is really THIN

Congrats!

Thank you and I agree, it's very, very thin and I realize the joke in my first post with the Fedex notice is actually not that far from the actual thickness of the watch...

Watchcentric · 13 October 2013, 06:35 PM

Thanks for explaining, that's the best reason to buy a watch;)

Enjoy wearing it!
