Moser Monard Platinum Date Addition

I scroll the purists' site every day but I must be "comment adverse".  However I thought I'd upload pictures of my new aquistion, as best that I can. 

I became aware of the brand when I was in browsing in London a couple of years back, I had seen the Mayu at one of the AD.  The  pieces interested me but hadn't grasped my full attention.  However late last year on another browse, I spotted most of the full range at another AD.  This time I decided to try on a few pieces.  I fell in love with the subtle simplicity, especially the indented curves on the sides of the watch, the grey dial, non mass production and the date numbers.

Further research into the brand afterwards convinced me I wasn't making a rash decision to regret later.  Another trip to the AD and eventually I settled on the date model in platinum.  I wear the watch on the weekends and I'm still in love with the looks, it just oozes class.  I also like the long power reserve, in comparison to the shorter power reserve of automatics.  Only small concern I have is the buckle.  The machined cuts on the back of the buckle are sharp, already the leather strap is showing signs of wear as the edges dig into it. 

Anyway, I hope to add more comments in 2013 to the fantastic articles and photos written by the moderators and the rest of you.  It is great for the likes of myself who has and is addicted to watches my whole life, but rely on the articles etc to expand my basic knowledge.   I must learn how to upload full width pictures, apolgies

Cheers
