The visual layout is at once complex and clean...sort of a simplified complexity in terms of reading the information. Love these due to the northern/southern hemisphere bit, but not thick at all. Also as a finish and texture fan, this dial is glorious!
I must say there are some PF that I just love but sadly the cost of those I love tend to be a bit prohibitive. Nice acquisition. I’d wear that for sure!
@@watchartsci Yeah, somehow PF changed totally after 2020, where the started using designs that suits more people instead of their unique design ques. Also the prices are much cheaper for the pre 2020 models 😁
Congratulations! Again…hehe. I see ur updating n refining ur collection. Well done Bill! The moon phase for me (imho) is the most romantic complication there is. Great buy. My last few purchases have also been all blue dials! Enjoy and take care!
I have a few blue dial watches, Hardijoe, and I like them all. None seem to change the shade of blues like this one though. 50 Shades of Blue? Take care, Bill
I always wondered why some watches have 3 date numbers, until I read somewhere that the simple reason is to know what date it is when the hour hand obscures today's date, if that makes sense. I kinda like it on my Calibre de Cartier. Congrats on the new watch, starting to really like PF and certainly their Tonda line.
That’s a wicked nice watch, Bill! Congratulations and thank you for sharing the joy of unboxing with all of us. P.S. - I dig those spectacles, too. They’re spectacular!
Congratulations on a lovely acquisition , one of my favourite brands. When I reach ninety years of age and have to sell my house to pay for my wife’s care I will buy one of these. PS my house is worth more than my watch collection believe it or not.
@@watchartscito make Geneva waves normally the watchmaker needs very thick material(rotors, big plates, bridges are the normal parts) BUT dials are unusually used due to thickness issues but what beauty he did with a fairly thin watch with so many complications. 👌❤️👍😍
It's a beautiful watch. I do like the dots for even-numbered dates with neighbouring dates shown (so you can read it). I'm not really big on moon phase either, but it can really look good on some watches, and it won't contribute much to the thickness of the movement. Anyhow, congrats sir! 👍
Hi Bill. I got a Parmigiani Tonda 1950 (stainless steel). But I think in the stainless version the rotor is made from tungsten. The platinum and gold version of the watch - the rotor was made from platinum. Take care.
You're probably right Mogens. I got the contents of the micro-rotor from a review of the PF Lune, and didn't notice whether it was a review of the gold-case or steel-case version. Take care, Bill
WOW! Fantastic buy. We're going to have to start calling you the "King of Parmigianis". Another red "1" date. I'm also looking at one the watches from the same video you posted last week. Congratulations and good luck! Best regards, Brian
Hello Neighbor, Congratulations on your new acquisition, what an awesome watch. It looks like you lately have soft spot for PF watches….I’m sure with what is going on with PF there will be some good deals.. Do you plan to add couple more, or this is it? Wear it in good health 👍
Today with an hugly apple watche young people have all information they wants,i just asked to me what is the interest of moon indication in an automatique watch complicated to set,who can stop easyly and cost an insane price...just for now the position of the moon..
This poster and wording are so funny😊
You got it early...🤫
Thank you Bill 🥃

Congrarts Bill, PF from that era are great deals. Definitely great High Horology watch.

Amazing piece! Congratulations Bill!! Wear it in good health. Just love the dial color and style. Best, Amintas
Another great vid Bill! We’re about the same age so I appreciate you all the more. Thanks
You mean you're 39 too, Jazzman? Take care, Bill
That watch is a beauty! Congratulations!

Hey O Bud! Yes, the color is a show all by itself...occasionally I check it for the time as well! Take care, Bill
Beautiful Professor. Wear it with happiness
Hi Bill , WOW looks so elegant !

Thanks Josh! Unboxing is always fun to share. My specs don't keep sliding down my nose! Take care, Bill
Nice look. Not a moon phase fan, but watch has nice look and size.
Same here JR, but it's easy to set and with both hemispheres, it's sort of fun. Take care, Bill
Okay, thumbs up just for the video thumbnail alone. Nice watch and nice review.
Fantastic watch Bill. I really like it. Congrats.
Great pick! Enjoy!
Thanks Pierre! Now it's time to sell some of my collection! Take care, Bill
Oh man, congratulations! What a stunner!
Hey Koolpep! Thanks man! Take care, Bill
Very nice ! I got the Tonda 1950 in white gold without the moon phase. They are very thin .
The white gold version sounds luscious Stoneitful! I've come to appreciate the solid heft of gold. Take care, Bill
Congratulations on a lovely acquisition , one of my favourite brands.

So you live in a castle with turrets and a moat, Velviaman! Take care, Bill
@@watchartsci No moat.
The front (dial ) side reminds me of à Côte de Genève finish , which are aligned with their back counter part. Very elegant!
Beautiful watch 👌❤️👍!
Yes, John. I hadn't thought of it that way but you're right; it's got Geneva waves on the front! Take care, Bill
@@watchartsci that’s what the various hues of blue are from!
@@johnnyarsenault9124 I can see that..thanks John.

Thank you Vonkruel. It reminds me there are two hemispheres. Take care, Bill
Beautiful watch Bill! Guessing you're out on the front lawn right now seeing if the moon phase is correct :). Best wishes.

Hey Bill, lovely watch. You’re a bad influence, searching PF Tondas I’ve found at least two versions I want but can’t afford! All the best, Ed
Yes, most of us are in the same boat Ed. I've heard of 'Influencers' ... I guess I'm a 'Bad Influencer'🙄 Take care, Bill
Lovely simplistic dial
Yes, HRM! Simple and elegant. That's what I like the most ... along with a Pantographe! Take care, Bill
nice watch! congrats
Nifty watch, Bill! Wear it in good health!
Hey Paul! Thanks man! Take care, Bill
Hi Bill, congratulations on your beautiful watch. Please send me some of those trees, I have a few watches in my wishlist.
Trees? What do you need trees for, Marc? How about some acorns? Take care, Bill 🐿️
