An old wrist shot of a watch I liked a lot: Jaeger Lecoultre Master 8 Days Perpetual Skeleton, platinum.

I can see why you traded it
Both are great superior watches but the ALS brings more diversity to your collection.
Two great pieces, but I very much concur with your choice for your marvellous MMR !
Also, I find the dial on the PC/ Pt skeletonized somewhat difficult to read. BTW: great pic of the two, needless to say.. And I also confess, I really love your MMR/ Ti, which I once several years ago, had the immense pleasure to wear for several hours.. ...
Two heavyweights. Are the cases the same size?
I too find the Perpetual hard to read but that is solely based on the photos above. I will say, my first thought was that it’s an unusual trade, this Perpetual out and the Emil in. Unusual insofar as visually it’s hard to understand the same person would ...
