Octa automatique lune

Dear All,

I am new to the forum and have been mesmirized by Journe's masterpieces. I am planning to purchase the new Octa Automatique Lune, Platinum. I have however a number of questions about this new piece and I would be grateful if fellow forum expert can enlighten me.

1)Moonphase indicators cannot be seen easily. I am not sure whether it was the lighting in the boutique or not, I found the moonphase indicators a little difficult to see when I looked at the watch directly. The shop assistant said it was the shop lighting but I wondered if other members in the forum share the same experience. I can't help to notice in other forum gallery that Octa lune and divine moonphase indicators can be photographed clearly whereas the Octa automatique lune moonphase indicator cannot be photographed. (see attached) What is going on? Would existing Octa lune/ divine/ automatique lune owners care to comment? Was the moonphase indicators made of different materials in the new series?

2) Which movement is more accurate : the CS or Octa automatique lune?

3) Will I be able to choose original metal bracelet or leather bracelet? What's the price difference in general?

Thanks for your opinion.

John
