Can this be a daily watch ?

It is the granddaddy of base cal. 2121. The only next stepup being a sonnerie or minute repeater. I don’t know why is it 43mm cuz there was...

The EOT does not feel so large and the dial is very easy to read.
The slim profile makes it feel smaller than it sounds. I am a RO Jumbo fan, especially for the size and the EOT does not seem all that large and it feels much smaller than a ROO. See photos below for comparison. The only pain for me is when we have daylig...
Easily can be worn daily.
I have one with different complication that I wore daily many times. I just reversed the clasp to make it more comfy.
