This discussion underscores the nuanced decisions collectors face when acquiring a significant timepiece.

But I'd prefer the dial without the AD designation. White dial then.
Never had a better service. But the design itself is better, too. The 1815 Sidestep has been another great wempe edition, btw. Spectacular!
for the whitle dial sans AD. Cheers Marc
But the question still has to come back to you: is it nobler in *your* mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous Wempe or to take arms against a sea of Limited Editions and, by opposing, end them?
I prefer the roman subdial and the numeral font of the Wempe edition.
Not Wempe for me. I have the SS version with blued hands. The Wempe is rare and platinum, though.
