Cote de Genève is a bit common these days. Frosted finish is a bit underrated. I love it [nt]

Would Love to See more variations in movement finishing. That's also one reason why I bought a Grönefeld Remontoire.
Frosted finish
...because it takes a man to do it (machine cannot do that !) REAL craftsmanship !
Have a nice day !

Who cares? not me.
If one cannot find enough beauty in that movement, a few "cotes de geneve" are not going to fix it.

I would also say that I prefer this, more contemporary and modern. [nt]

Aesthetically it is very pleasing to the eye.. Looks contemporary and tidy [nt]

1 after looking at this LF I was thinking what we'd even need Côtes de Geneve for-as long as we get inward angles.
Much more clean this way isn ‘t it?
Mine too! This guy gets cooler with age! We can all learn from him. Hope he gets well passed his 90s [nt]

Since you all agree I’ll be the one to go against the grain 😎😁
I’m perhaps a bit conservative, but I feel that a Genève made watch that caters to the classic school of watch making should have Cote de Genève. just as I like it when a Roger Smith does his tradition frosted finish without beveling the edges. I’m not saying that you can not or should not do one or the other. I just prefer a watch to stick to its origin as both finishes are beautiful- depending on how well they have been executed.
Honestly, I like the frosted look over the cotes. That may not be the case for every watch, but when possible, be different. In this case it works with the look of the watch. [nt]

Not a fan of frosted finish
I guess it looks too easy to do compared to the engraved finishes. I know that may not be the case just how it suggests to me.
Tough decision
I flip-flopped over the movement finish when I ordered my Galet Square. Finally decided to go with the classic côtes de Genève.
What spoke for the frosted finish was that it’s different than most other Swiss watches. The main reason for me to decide for the côtes was that LF‘s finishing is just top notch, and I didn’t like too much how the gold rotor looks beside the frosted finish.
Either way, not much you can do wrong here. Just a matter of personal preference.
Cheers,
Daniel
