Kind regards,

Dear Powersoft, Thank you for... Dear Powersoft,
Thank you for your message.
The watch is still available.
It was bought end of 2006 / beginning 2007.
It was bought officially from the authorized French distributor at that time.
I know there has been several versions of the Planetarium. I am aware of at least one before mine. And I was told when I bought mine that another finishing of the movement will soon appear because the one used in mine was too time consuming and too costly ! So I think my version is the most desirable one but I assume they are all technically equivalent.
I am very serious. I have just sold my Dufour to an English collector.
Best regards,
Aurelien
