Impressively all sold!

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?

Big 8 is kind of entry level UJ, so I'm doubtful if the FP movement is better finished comparing to Alfred movement.

Alfred is more attractive partially due to the Breguet numerals !

Interestingly Mahesh

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... 

I totally agree Mahesh!

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

Beautiful [nt]

...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.

I really like this dial a lot .
