My everyday watch. Nice and heavy. Goes with everything, except a suit.

Nothing wrong with a Selita movement. It's a quality movement.

Well said re: CW watches, audiophilia.

This watch has the 3.96 which I think is the less sophisticated cousin of 1.96 in the sense that it does not have the Geneva seal and the breguet overcoil. The 1.96 can only be found in watches with gold cases and those are substantially more expensive.

I paid around 5000 USD for this in HK and am very happy to get a watch of this finishing in that price.

Here are some photos I look of the watches in the window's of Vienna's retailer.

I dont know if they belong in this thread. If they dont let me know and I will take them down.
