Beyond that, this is an absolute stunning watch and I couldn’t be happier with it or recommend it highly enough. I’ve tried a couple of other straps on it which I prefer to the factory one as well. Good luck.  |
The manual-wind is certainly a factor with this watch. I can’t see the value in a Perpetual Calendar if you have to constantly reset it. If you can enjoy the process then that’s great, as it really is a spectacular piece, but I think resetting it would get up my nose, especially given that I five setting the date in a normal date watch annoying!
Maybe I’m just making excuses because my wrist and bank balance are both too puny to have one!
