Moser Mayu - Stunningly Simple!

 

I've had my eye on this one for a while and had the opportunity to purchase this black dialed version back in March. I decided to have it serviced under warranty in NYC and as part of the service had the watch "upgraded with a new dial, hands, escapement module and 8 day wheel. I have comparison pictures at the end of the post with the old dial/hands vs. the new dial/hands.

Here are some quick shots after the upgrade was completed:

And some side by sides of the "old version" and the "new version" with changes

As you can see, the hands are shaped differently (I think for the better), the chapter ring around the sub second dial is less prominent and a little thinner (I think for the worse!) and the 2 on the 12 is shaped a little better and is a little "flatter" and more precise. Overall, I like the improvements. What do you think?
