Reproducibility
Wonderful to see these three together, SJX. Thanks!
I have asked this question before, but I am always intrigued by how reproducible an individual craftsman can be. What an opportunity, with a 10x loupe, to really look ofver the movement to see how much little variation there is from piece to piece. I have only seen Simplicities one at a time, and it's impossible to remember the subtletiesto allow comparison. Any comments or observations?

A simple GTG
When three Simplicities stand side by side, are they complicated? - SJX...
:-) Are they all 34mm? [nt]
....nah, on the right is 34mm while the center and the left are 37mm, right? They are still "Simple" indeed! Ken This message has been edited by KIH on 2012-02-26 22:35:39
Funny, the same watches yet so different one for the other.
All lovely in a different sort of way, kind of makes me like PG again. Proof that you don't need to do something overly complicated to make a great watch. Best regards, George
Simply.................. beautiful :)
Simple in complication. But very complicated to own one! LOL
You lucky guy...
How often does that happen Thanks for sharing the photos. I think the yellow gold look best... Regards
I think I know whose wg gray dial that is!
Sensational!!! I really admire the 34mm guilloche version of this watch. It would be too small for me, but I like it tremendously. Thank you--incredible!!
this is what Paris must have felt like ....
three beauties, so hard to choose! Thanks, that is some GTG! Best Andreas

There are differences but they are subtle
For instance the grain of the striping at certain angles or the finish on the bridge for the pallet fork beneath the balance wheel. These are barely perceptible but still evident when looking carefully. That is perhaps why Dufour is the pinnacle of finish...
That's very a very helpful observation, SJX. Thanks!
I wonder how many Simplicities have ever been together in the one place? Apart from when they were in the Dufour 'nursery'. Andrew
Simply gorgeous!
Great report,SJX! Loved the photos -- and I know how tough it is to get decent exposures at those sorts of gatherings. I'm hoping to host a similar event of my ownin the next couple of months, and your example is inspiring! All 3 watches look great -- exc...
