I feel this surge in prices has been driven mostly by hype for the elegante. Since these are now selling for over $100k, this ends up pushing up the prices of the mechanical models upwards as well. Maybe it's wishful thinking, but the elegante's secondary market prices are not sustainable, especiall
I have been watching his reviews for a while, but the L2L measurements of the 40mm Journe watches he reviews are all over the place from under 47mm to over 48mm.
That Automatique is gorgeous, especially on that strap, and it really does suit your wrist very well. I would imagine that would be much more apparent seeing it in the 3rd person.
At this point I don't have a strong preference for either size. I'd go for a brass movement 38mm, so I'll keep an eye out for one unless I get allocated a 40mm AN. That would have be to for 2027 at the very least, though. I love you collection btw! Looking forward to your upcoming addition!
