Collection

His detailed breakdown of its features, from the 9-day power reserve to its ethical gold sourcing and Geneva Seal, provides a valuable framework for understanding what makes a watch exceptional beyond mere aesthetics. This article explores DouglasM's rationale and the community's insights into this remarkable reference.
...but while the movement is nice, it's awfully small for the case...
Open collecting. I have no exit, but i want not collect over 20 peaces. My reason is to give my current collection all the attention possible. Dive deeply in every pore. Watch whisperer. Going to 4 core watches is deeply. I feel guilty i have not acquire a Chopard yet. I heard good stories here at WPS about the brand. I select on tough requirements, but i think LUC will survive it easy.
I would recommend any of the LUC models, I’ve had three and they’re all excellent
for a business casual watch, and think this does the trick indeed. Post-COVID, my dress attire is much more business casual
and this one being 29mm, slides in just under my limit. I would prefer a 31 or 32mm movement, but I’m fine with it and all other factors being in place outweighed this
It seems the exception and not the norm these days that movements are the appropriate size for a case.
