For a good cause. Not a bad dial but I still prefer the Alfred in 40mm although I like the fact that the date window at 6 o'clock on the standard model has been removed resulting in a cleaner dial. My question would be how does the Frederic Piguet movement compare to UJ's P4 found on the Alfred? Ok maybe that is an unfair comparison because one is an automatic and the other a manual winding but how do they compare in terms of finishing?

Both the Alfred and Big 8 are priced similarly and where one in a proprietary manual movement, the other is an outside sourced automatic movement. The manual movement is always nicer to look at in my opinion. I am not sure if UJ finishes the Frederic Pigu...

The manual movements of UJ for me are a lot more impressive than the Frederic Piguet 1160.
Beautiful dial color...

...but the blued hands look like they might get lost. Also (very important), the numerals 'V' through 'VIII' should be flipped 180-degrees.
and 4 is IV...

i got the same doubt on the hands vs dial but pictures are hard to predict the contrast levels.
