either the old Rendez-vous or the Seductrice. The former was VERY popular in the '90s but had a weird "press-the-crown" setting.

Re the MUTPC, I'd GO FOR IT, and the service on the newer JLCs is pushing 7+ years due to some of the "autotractorized" upgrades.

I was at JLC in September and they said all high-complications need to go back to the factory.

I owned a similar mans, Heraion 1990's
I think they are extremely undervalued, they are not ugly as many find them, just out of fashion at the moment! kinda miss it... The "white out" logo is very "tool watch"-cool [URL=] [/URL] [URL=] [/URL] ...
Thx for guidance
Thank you everyone for your input. I was guided to an independent watchmaker in a city I travel to frequently by a JLC AD. He changed the battery, thought the mechanism looked great, and leak checked the watch and it passed. Minimal expense and watch runs...
