That's why I am thinking of getting the Mark 3 3.96 or something with a 1.96 inside. Initially was thinking of a LUC Sport 2000 with the 4.96 but that piece is dearer than a Mark III. Was at the boutique yesterday and viewed the half hunter that Kong showed us a few days ago here. #88..salmon dial, its gorgeous. That piece would be on my wish list. The 9.96 in the Fleurier was nice but doesn't have swan neck? Wonder why it was left out. Maybe it would have been a direct competitor with the 1.96 that's why. The price only 1k difference. But the QC should be better especially with all those polished surfaces. Will wait for the next batch in the meantime.
