In the catalogs, since the beginning, it always had the same ref.

Newbie MC geo question...
Hi all, I have decided on my next watch - the master compressor geographic. Always like to do my homework before pulling the trigger. please educate me on the following questions - 1. What the difference between the current model ref 171xxxx and the previ...
Welcome to the forum
I am not going to jump in with answers but you have come to the right place. I am standing by to hear so ideas. Tell us a little more about how you got to this dilemma. Bill
