Thanks for the great review Fr.Xavier
This Monegasque is definitely a great entry level Roger Dubuis, and I too feel it has all the Roger Dubuis elements in it. Too bad the rotor wasn't more attractive to match the exquisitely finished movement. Nevertheless, a great entry model for Dubuis.
Cheers,

A full day with the Roger Dubuis Stainless Steel Monegasque Automatic
I already had the opportunity to present you the Pink Gold Monegasque Automatic last year with my Roger Dubuis report after the Salon Belles Montres 2011: I would like to come back to the Stainless Steel version further to a loan from a friend who gave m...
Thanks for the review, Fx!

Hi Magnus - I said I didn't think it would pass the test of time.........and I was referring to the look. I think it's quite a striking looking watch but there's a long line of watches that I see that stir something initially but fade quickly . You only h...
And the old style Sympathie...
would that stand your test of time (btw, a good one I think!)? Cheers, Magnus
yes.......but
now we're getting complicated LOL. I think the old Sympathie - both with the original crystal shape and the round crystal (especially the black dial "guilloche main")- is most definitely a timeless design. Probably a bit dressy for my personal wearing tas...

Thanks FJX for your comprehensive presentation...
and I agree with your summary that it is a very attractive watch to enter the world of RD. You get a relatively 'affordable' watch with a fine movement that is made and finished according to the criteria of the Poinçon de Genève . The watch also plays wel...
