When three Simplicities stand side by side, are they complicated?

....nah, on the right is 34mm while the center and the left are 37mm, right? They are still "Simple" indeed!

How often does that happen
Thanks for sharing the photos. I think the yellow gold look best...

Wonderful to see these three together, SJX. Thanks!
I have asked this question before, but I am always intrigued by how reproducible an individual craftsman can be. What an opportunity, with a 10x loupe, to really look ofver the movement to see how much little variation there is from piece to piece. I have only seen Simplicities one at a time, and it's impossible to remember the subtletiesto allow comparison. Any comments or observations?

For instance the grain of the striping at certain angles or the finish on the bridge for the pallet fork beneath the balance wheel. These are barely perceptible but still evident when looking carefully. That is perhaps why Dufour is the pinnacle of finishing, it is so good it almost looks machine made but the consistency, at the very finest levels of granularity, is evidently hand made.
