Hi David,
That is great and kind to share your pic, as wondering, how it looks with the brown santoni?

Wow, it is really a gem! What a great find you have there, maybe if you ever spot a F A jones in steel, do alert me. Dying to get one for my collection.

Speaking of "companion for regulateur": Besides my regulateur in WG, have other Portuguese and Pilots watches of IWC. A perpetual calendar for example is a must have!

Here you go. I need to take some new photos but this will give you the idea.
Best regards,

Forget the 5001xx... it will always be there ready for you.
If you want a contrasting companion to your Regulateur...
Go for that Big Pilot Perpetual Calendar... c'mon life is short! =P
Good luck,
