Now that you mentioned it, I can’t unsee the asymmetry in the RG dial
The dial is significantly top heavy due to the hands being mounted closer to the top half of the dial. I searched “Romain Gauthier C” and in most press photos the time is set to 9:12 instead of the traditional 10:08 to “pull” the hands closer to the cente...
Between these two the PF but I'd get an RG C2 or C4 over either of those...
While the PF is an eye pleaser it also feels quite boring to me. Never thought about getting one myself. I find the C a lot more edgy and interesting but I have gone back and forth on the dial layout. What I do know is that I am not a big fan of the brace...
Neither.
The Gauthier just fails to move the needle at all for me. The dial on this particular PF is too minimalist. With Parmigiani, I'd look in the Toric line for a salmon-like dial. M4
When I win the lottery the PF
Like it's cleaner look & always liked the idea of a micro rotor movement. Cheers JML
