Gents,

I'm about to pull the trigger on this near mint Crosswind.
I have seen the watch with my own eyes and it looks great.
I should know enough by now about recognizing fakes but just to be sure, to be sure, to be sure:
Is it real?

Many thanks!

Thank you Roff. I also thought so too and it is coming from a reputable source.
However, I'm not an expert, I just buy them and I love collecting and wearing them.
Coming from you, I know I can buy with confidence ;-)

:bow:

ONE of the reasons why I love this forum.

Thanks Roff.

Wes.

I'm jealous. Jealous the Crosswind I tried out was too big as well as the TOs and all the current Chronomats except the 41. Jealous, jealous, jealous!

That very watch is the one I used to drool over in the Chronolog all those years ago. A real beauty that I've never owned. Loved it then, and love it now.

And as others have said, yep it's real!

While not a huge TT fan, I really dig that bracelet. Congrats! What is that 4 or 5 watches this year alone? Nice.

I don't want to count for the fear of having a heart attack :cry:
I wish it was only 4 or 5 :huh

Very nice. The Crosswind is one of my all time favorites. It's the perfect size. I wouldn't mind picking up another one. I'd be able to wear a full ss version more often than the tt.
