It's a Gerald Genta? Bronze And titanium.


I think you nailed it. The Safari matches all criteria, and the lugs are identical to the last pic posted. Little screws on the caseback match as well.

Damn, youre good.


I was thinking Genta last night but the material in first photo he posted threw me off

I was looking at the Gerald Genta lineup earlier today, but I couldn't match it to all the necessary criteria. I'm not convinced this is it. Roff?

SOB I had my finger on that one last night but the bronze didn't look like your first photo!

Congrats, very cool complication to tell time.

I've been considering it for a while and when the PAM Bronzo didn't pan out then it became a bigger target. Got an opportunity that I couldn't refuse and it should be here Monday!

Damn Sergio!

Couple days ago I was Googling "brass and titanium watch." Stoooopid - bronze is what I was thinking, yet my fingers still typed brass. Here's a poke to myself - :poke:

But it doesn't change the fact that Sergio is an absolute freak at this stuff. :shock:

Damnit! I had it! The beads around the bezel and crown threw me off. Also, I didn't look into if the movement was in-house or not, but I was looking at that exact watch earlier today thinking it may be the one. I guess I should have said something. Nice acquisition, Roff.

Really neat piece and simple to read. Almost bought a Chronoswiss Delphis a couple of years ago in rose gold/stainless. Congrats.
