Horological Meandering

Yes, a very human post and you are amongst friends who appreciate and understand

Best,
Robert

I am curious, any reason why you posted this thread twice?

Both are iconic watches with a wonderful design. And the 16202 seems to be a great execution of the Jumbo. Wear and enjoy this pair in good health. Best, Emmanuel
