Moonphase visability...
The moonphase on the Octa Automatique does appear darker partly because of lighting and also because of the color combo; silver moonphase against a deeper, richer dark blue background vs gold moonphase against blue background. I have not compared the two backgrounds side by side but you have certainly given me reason to visit the boutique this weekend and will report back. In previous experience of seeing the Octa Automatique the moonphase does "light up" and when th light catches it the right way especially outside.
As for accuracy it's a touch call. If I had to guess I would say the CS but not by much if any. The platinum bracelet can be specially ordered and will be specially fitted by Montres Journe in Geneva. As for price... let's just say you could probably buy 175 leather straps in its place
