Thanks...
Hi buddy, i was waiting too and i knew there wont be many reply to this kind of question. But i do, honestly and very frankly, think that the LUC movement is nothing lesser than a Patek in terms of finishing, least to say a Grand Seiko. In fact, in the above 2 movement, i actually see the finer side on the LUC. Well its just my very humble opinion and sometimes i think we should not be blinded by brands 
Thank you for the side by side comparison, thank you SteveG too Cheers bro.

Movement comparison....
Dear purists, Out of curiosity....how would you compare a Grand Seiko movement finishing to a Chopard LUC in general? I was told by some friends that the Seiko is actually superior over LUC which i beg to differ....any thoughts? Regards
I waited a day... so nobody comments ...
I don't have any picture of the GS movement finishing nor have I seen one with open caseback. I'm confident the movement finishing will NOT below GS. However, GS is a very worthy competitor Just side-track, have a picture comparison between L.U.C and PP b...
Interesting comparison of the PP and LUC
First I must say I do not have enough knowledge of GS to compare. I do have a manual spring drive (among the earlier version) but this is another animal altogether. From what limited comparison I can make between the SD and LUC - I think the movement fini...
About the jewels...
Watch72, thanks for the reply. I've seen the GS GMT....casework is superb. The dial, hands and indices are very well-finished. The SD should be as good too. The picture was by SteveG... indeed the L.U.C and PP finishing level is comparable. If you sample ...
Thank you
Kong for the information on Jewels. So much to learn from this wonderful forum.
LUC vs. Grand Seiko
The Grand Seiko is a very nice watch, but not anywhere near the level of finishing of the LUC. They are just in different leagues and different price ranges to match. In my opinion, the Geneva Seal LUC movements are some of the very best finished in the w...
True....
They are indeed one of the best finished movement around but i dont think the LUCs with and without Geneva Seal have any difference....any thoughts, Kong? Regards
You are right, Jacky...
Regardless with or without Geneva Seal, the spirit and work done on finishing is of the same high-standard. The subtle extras with the Geneva Seal certified pieces are the dial material is gold, swan-neck regulator and overcoil hairspring. Kong
Entirely different in intention and results
Leaving aside the Chopard 1.96 to Patek 240 comparison, I think the finish of my 1.96 is at least as 'fine' as that of any comparable (serial-production and cost perhaps $US15,000 or less) contemporary watch I have had the pleasure to handle (but I have h...
Thanks SteveG for the wonderful series of closeup...
Hi SteveG Thank you for sharing the 3 sets of pics of the great Oriental Challenger. From your pictures, I'm surprised to note that the current generation of GS, there isn't any anglage done but the edges were still needly done. For the Credor, a bit stra...
