I do have this nagging question.. Given the size of the movement, would it have been possible to house it in a smaller case? Or will doing so awkwardly affect aesthetics?
To match the elegant movement, I agree with the majority regarding the use of white metals (preferably ss or wg) with a matching enamel dial. I figure we're dealing with a movement with real class here, so why not go all the way.
Great review and images as always.
