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 previous model ref 148xxx? I asked the same question in the other forum but didn't get a clear answer. Owners and experts please help.

2. Is there known mechanic issue with the watch? I have read in some FS thread where the seller mentioned specifically about the city disc working flawlessly unlike the "others". Has anyone experienced problem with the city disc or any problems with the 923 clibre?

Thanks~

The 2010 one, it has ALWAYS been referenced 171 xxxxx. I never heard about issues with the city disk or with its movement. Everything can happen, of course, but it is not known as a problematic watch. OF COURSE, it is always better to buy your watch at a ...

Pre- 2004 maybe?

Thanks amanico~ If it's been 171 since 2004, then I guess the new number probably just reflecting a slight production change, since the model was only introduced in 2002, I believe. I would definitely get the watch from AD, if I'm buying new. I overspent ...
