Had a guy come in yesterday looking for watches with a glass back. He was shocked to see $200 ones. We should show him this.

They make pretty good movements too, apart from the finishing... I mean, finishing is just so superficial...

But I guess that's cool because they only re-cycled this movement from Lemania :joking: So they HAD to make it look good

They are beautiful but Philippe Dufour has them beat hands down. Take a look at the Simplicity and you will see a fanatic at finishing.

I think this guy is the ultimate master. Of course Patek is still a production watch while Philippe is a master that concentrates on the craftsmanship. Quite the difference in the amount of watches each produce.

I would love to be able to afford a Philippe Dufour in my life time. It is truly a lottery winning watch. Or a past GM Executive's watch.

The Dufour is beautiful. Notice how the Dufour is 37 mm, according to its description...some here might call that a woman's watch. :)

I continue to be impressed with the apparent quality/value of Frederique Constant, some of which have exhibition backs.
