Sorry its been awhile! Somehow work from home has become more work than work from office... This was a really tough decision. The Optimum being “Journe’s Watch” is something I really gravitate towards. I also really love the drive to make a more frictionless watch, such as the reverse dead beat seconds. That said, I simply enjoy the Chronometre Bleu dial so much. I can’t put the watch down and find myself wearing it constantly during these unusual times to brighten my day. I felt I wouldn’t get the same enjoyment looking at the Optimum as I do the Bleu, although I absolutely appreciate the ingenuity of the Optimum movement. I would also say that watch I was looking at was 42mm and that did play a part (too big I think - 40mm would make it a bit tougher).
The solution is really to not get rid of the Bleu and hope the stars align to get the Optimum down the road!
