The Return of a Legend, Great Italian read about 201/A & 301/A
Here below you will see and read (for those who can) the first published article about the return of legendary watches. Throughout you will note the original planned buckle. It is interesting to know that the pre-vendome buckle as we know it was in fact developed in mid 1993 and produced on the last quarter of 1993.
Equally interesting to know that then the dimensions of those watches were considered to limit use and adaptability on wrist, ;-)
If you cannot read, well at least you can see ;-)

The return of a Dream, POY
This article made me dream when I read it, some time ago. Always nice to read it again. Thanks, Nicolas
POY always makes you dream... ;-)
Yes, I remember when I first shown you this article, your eyes were popping back and forth...
LOL, POY
LOL, but true! That is some fantastic stuff, indeed. Dédé's archives are among the best! Nicolas
Great post POY, thank god they abandoned that buckle,,,
It is amazing how naive all this looks now, only 15 years after ;-) Neo Vintage at its best. Asi
Ouch that buckle looks cheap. Glad the PreV buckle was created!
Btw PoyFR, I increased the picture size of your pics so it's easier to read the text. - AT
Bigger is better, Thanks. That buckle looks cheap... OUCH
Anthony, many post-vendome radiomir do come with a very similar slightly remordernised buckle... for example, 197, 198, 208 Image borrowed from 'BigB'...
Yeah I never liked the buckle on the 21 :P
Looks too delicate for the watch IMO! - AT
The buckle was the 1st thing I changed on the 198, POY
The strap was the second thing... A Dédé Strap, of course! Best, Nicolas
PreV rocks....
According to the articles..The buckle wasn't the only thing they changed (PreV ERA)...The lugs of the mare are flat on the bottom...I wonder why the changed it to round...Still both options look great..Beautiful watches...Txs for sharing...Guillermo
Wow! Thank you, Poy
These type of publications make me appreciate my Pam 000 even more and make me feel lucky to be able to own a modern re-interpretation of a true icon. Cheers, Alex
Il ritorno de 2 orologi de legenda, in pic.
