I honestly didn't know the difference in the weight of the lines. So I can say about two things: learn something new everyday, and I was lucky to have bought mine.
Tony, it is indeed a very nice redial job. Normally the "Swiss Made" would have been placed a lot higher on the dial with a less skillful craftsman. This one is actually almost as good as the original one. I suppose it's not possible to get the replacement for "Swiss Made" and only the "T" version w
Tony, I agree with everything that you've said. Everything looks good with the exception of the "T Swiss Made T". Two problems: it shouldn't be "T" with the reasons you've stated, and the location of it. Otherwise the watch does look very nice. Am I correct the crown is after market?
but a few things I would like to point one: 1) first and foremost, if you are going to ask questions based on a photo that you've taken, make sure the photo is good enough for other people to see what it is.

MJT, Yes, you are right that neither of the MUTs has a date window. I now understand why you haven't mentioned them in your OP. I don't know much about the inner working of the reserve de marche complication, and so I can't comment on it. But you are also right that most of the time this complicatio
MJT, If you have a watch winder and the watch will be on it all the time when not on the wrist, then the power meter is not that useful. However if your expected Master Reserve de Marche is not something you wear all the time and you don't use a watch winder, then it is very useful to know when appr
Congratulation on your wife's JLC watch. And yes, the "loud" click you heard was the main spring slipping inside the barrel that is designed to release the tension from overwinding. All automatic watch has this feature. I don't know whether CAL968 is uni or bi-winding. But as a quick test, once you
