This or that?
First version of the 1966 Minute Repeater Annual Calendar:
Or new one?

I would be happy with any of the two....
But if I would get to choose, I would go for the new one! Because of the more classic look and more beautiful decoration. I am a big fan of pure design, but the applied numbers on the new version... Lovely! :) Thank you for sharing these two, Fx! Best Blo...
Frankly,
I would drop the annual calendar and only enjoy a pure classic minute repeater as just shown in the forum by chronosRM. Great to see the comparison on your wrist, they are still incredible pieces, even out-smarted by its simple cousin. CC
For me, neither of those. MR, simple MR, for me, please.
The MR is a hell of a Watch. These complicated MRs are not my taste at all. The complications ruin the dial. IMO... Best, Nicolas
First one for me, please.
Just not as busy. ( But I am sure all of you knew which way I would go given the choice. So very predictable...)
