Rolex. I should have remembered that one. Of course! Moser and Roger Dubuis, I didn't know. [nt]

When I learned about RD and M&C I was quite impressed myself, too

Since then RD has become quite appealing to me and I am having a pp calendar in the back of my mind from RD. M&C? Still waiting for a piece ...

Quite impressive. I didn't expect them there. [nt]

In 2008, she is the only one doing the comptage. www.watchprosite.com That hairspring fabricating machine, was not allowed to post previously. Didn't see your visit to the Le Locle plant, if keen, previous visit. www.watchprosite.com Kong

it was another younger lady, probably around her 40s? Yes, you are rite, u can't take pics of them preparing the hairsprings [nt]
