Velociphile - No longer in the building
1397
I love this piece but
don't seem to adore it. I have been close to buying it twice.
1. I think it needs more dial depth (think of the effect the PP3940 has)
2. I wish the hour and minute hands had their tail tips arriving at the centre at a true tangent to make what I would call pure dauphine shape.
3. Provide French language (like the old model)
4. I wish they bothered to better finish the movement (say to sparkly Duometre spec decoration)

Agree w nico
I find the finish pleasant enough. Can be better but at what cost. Actually one of the very attractive points about this piece is it being a very well priced pc from a true manufacture like jlc
