I must say I quite liked the 1159 from the getgo, but found it a bit too tame for its case and price. These new dials, although a bit expediently ripped together from Moser and the VC overseas do give the watch the „pop“ it was lacking. I am yet to see them in person and still believe 27k is a bit steep for those movements (just because it improves on what AP would have given you in the 3120, doesn’t bring it up to par with a 5100 or a 324 in terms of finishing). Nonetheless, I believe that this watch is finally coming into its own and might be inclined to get one, should the price be right.
