It must be a nightmare being a watch manufacturer when there are so many varying tastes amongst the customer base; that one for example really does nothing for me (tells you more about my poor taste than the watch!).

I'm afraid I don't like it either.

I do have 'traditional' tastes though!

Eye of the beholder and all that, but it shows why you need a very large range to please everyone!

Moonphase makes the watch for me yes

The revised model is better with a better balanced dial.

Agreed. If the power reserve window was uniform rather than tapered, it wouldn't look quite as unbalanced.

Each to their own & all that, but not one of their better efforts in my view.

I like it. JLC, gold, interesting complication is next on my list I think!

I have that in stainless and it looks gorgeous. I'm not such a fan of the gold though. Horses for courses though.

That said, I'm thinking of selling it for a Reverso to scratch that reverso itch!

Certainly a cleaner dial but I prefer the power reserve on the old style. The slight lack of balance is rather classic to my eyes... Symmetry is not necessary with complications, my Breguet 5707 is all over the place!

That excites me as much as completing a tax return. Good job we don't all like the same things, isn't it.
