I'm glad you like the back side of the UJ: I think this watch deserves much more love than it gets,

even if its asking price is ridiculously high. I also love the 5101, but would it fit my smaller wrist? I have doubts. Also, as I love to wind my watch daily, the 10-Day PR does nothing for me. That said, it's a stunning piece and I hope to see one IRL so

Also, as I love to wind my watch daily, the 10-Day PR does nothing for me. That said, it's a stunning piece and I hope to see one IRL someday. I would also love to see the T30, an all-time favorite of mine and the UJ, which I find wonderful. Best, Emmanue
