In this order... 1/ The Duometre  Quantime Lunaire Enamel, a monument of purity, elegance, classn snesuality. Number One for me, definitely. 2/ Tribute To Reverso 1948, Stamped Dial. Awfully captivating, still affordable, I love these touches of blue on...  

I would be very curious to see the Enamel Duometre in the metal

The other dial I find appealing from 2014 is the Master Ultra thin with enamel dial: I like the leaf hands and the thin markers. The enamel dial, if it is white and not greyish and cold, could be something great to see. ...  

If only there was no wording ' Email Grand Feu ' on the dials!

Very classical

 
 By: Arie - Mr Orange : December 28th, 2014-12:51
that is how it looks. Maybe a bit to classical? At least that is my impression after handling it in the metal.

The "in the metal" experience is necessary to feel it

I'll have a look and see how it feels, thanks Arie :)

AND a superb one, I must say... Best, HS. Nicolas

I really need to see the 1948 in the metal. Nico, what are your thoughts on the 1948 dial

as compared the the white dial of the GRUT Duoface? The GRUT duo face white dial really has a hold over me. My vote is Duometre, by the way!

Thanks, Prospero! [nt]

The duometre

 
 By: sternalot : December 27th, 2014-19:20
Is not for me. The enamel lacks the texture of other dials. Much prefer the white gold with black dial...

It is true that the texture of the dial is very much the Duometre.

 
 By: amanico : December 27th, 2014-23:46
That is one detail which fascinated me a lot when it was released, in 2007. Best, Sternalot. Nicolas.

I agree

 
 By: Arie - Mr Orange : December 29th, 2014-10:55
with sternalot on that. After seeing the email dial live I think my preference is also with the white gold, black dialed QL (though I have never hold that watch in my hands). Nevertheless size wise I would prefer the email version. Wouldn't say no to eith... 

sadly: yes

Great choices Nico!

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : December 28th, 2014-07:23
Agree with them. Can't afford the Duometre QL enamel so I went for the Reverso TT 1948! Also a superb dial! Cheers robin ...
