Independents

I've got one of Ben Chee's watches from his BCHH brand on order and he's offering a choice of movement finishes. I'd value your opinions. I'm leaning towards the classic but still undecided. I have time as the watch is still some time away from fruition. ...  

Thank you for your opinion.

Best, mahesh.,

I appreciate your opinion. I think that's what I'll go with.

Personally, I think that the design and finishing of the rotor is disappointing. As the movement is a Vaucher Caliber 5401/32 they should be able to request an alternative design.

and I truly appreciate your opinion. Thank you, Captain.

Let us know how it goes.

I'm simply a customer with a choice of movement finishes and dials. But I'll certainly keep you in the know. Thanks again.

but apparently there are several options. That said, I don't believe the case is finalized yet. ...

Much appreciate the input.

But the second is also more unique and original. Would be curious understand more about it, what the black sections and rotor are made of, if the quality of the anglage is different, etc. I'd give the second option more consideration if you already have a... 

I do, in fact, have a watch with the predecessor of this movement, a Tonda 1950. The bridges are quite different, and, as you pointed out, the interior angles of this version are compelling. As far as I know, the difference between these two movements, ot... 

I'd be more tempted to consider option #2 in that case to add some differentiation. Regardless, I don't think you can go wrong with either choice!

I appreciate your input!

Pretty much unanimous.

The Sharp case with it would look cool! Btw congrats on that super cool piece you will get ;-)
