Fantastic piece and photos...!

The black MOP in your Calendrier is just sublime... Subtle when you need it to be, yet can really be fired up when you want... I also love the added detail of polished metal window frames for the month and day that are only available for these MOP dials. Interestingly, the hole in the dial for my MOP Optimum's remontoir air brake does not have this detail - I was expecting one, but when I got the piece was a bit surprised it didn't have one. On the Calendrier, I love how the shiny rectangles balance out the polished rehaut ring of the subdial to the right!


The wristshots are fantastic as well... I think a lot of men by default think MOP is too feminine or awkward to wear, but I think properly done, high quality MOP dials can show a lot of character and confidence. And you wear them really well!

Thanks again for the photos... please keep them coming! smile

thanks Mark, indeed a rare bird...I guess with MOP either you love them or find them a bit awkward. I am quite fond of them, I think one piece of MoP in the collection adds some "spice"; this one in particular seems to be quite wearable to me. Cheers, Ale...
