... Thanks for your message and the welcome!
It was quite hard to find a watch that matched my criteria. Somehow I am quite picky and I really wanted it to be the best of its kind.
For example: on my Longines which is a brilliant watch, very classy too, very accurate, excellent value for money, etc. (Part of the Master Collection, so another master I'll introduce it if you want. So, on my Longines, and on most watches I saw before this one, there is a clash between the font used for the dial and the font used for the date. It is a slight thing, but when you notice, it makes things quite annoying! And when you like watches, you want perfection (especially when you pick one in this level of prices). No date simplified the problem !!
I also wanted it steel as the aim in the purchase was to get a piece of mechanical marvel.
Well, all this to say that I am very very happy with it and it will be hard to find what the next one will be (well, I just saw the Geophysic .........)
Thanks again for your messages,
