I’ve been eyeing on the Eichi ii for quite some time now. And today I finally got to see both the PT and RG versions side by side. One has to handle them in person to fully appreciate the craftsmanship. My personal favorite is the PT version, but the RG o...  

But also nothing quite like the eichi ii

I LOVE the Eichi's (both of them). It is very, very, high on my want list. Do you have any more thoughts about them having now seen them in person? I would be buying "blind" so any insight is much appreciated.

My main concern was how it’s going to wear on my small wrist before seeing the eichi ii in person, give the clean dial and the relatively large case (39mm). I feared it might wear larger than the number suggests. I wore my CB to the shop so I can compare ... 

Size is a concern of mine as well. I generally preffer 36-38mm watches so this stretches that a bit. It really looks fantastic on you. Congratulations and wear it in the best of health.

Cuz I can’t stand the deployant. I ordered a rose gold pin buckle from Credor and still waiting. Apparently it’s very hard to find Credor pin buckle. 🤷‍♂️

I’ll ask for a WG pin buckle if they don’t have one in PT

I normally prefer deployant clasps. Is there something wrong with Credor’s deployant?

Not to mention deployant in general gets in the way when you want to admire the movement 😉

Strain to see the movement But not much strain on the leather Have not tried a GS deployant though

The anglage in particular is top-quality

Or purely aesthetic?

The dial being so very white... the RG warms it up preferably! The RG plays preferably with the blue line work on dial as well... No wrong choice here. Sensational.

Although the hands are blue on the RG model, the indexes and logo are dark gray/charcoal color instead of blue used in the PT

Still the warmth of RG against the high white is lovely contrast.

Also the two shock absorbers are supposed to mimic the eyes of the 🐸 looking up.

Now I see the 🐸!

I watched a video somewhere where he painted the markers with a brush on that dial. incredible

i remember reading the review from Mike...a movement finish mentored by Mr. P. Dufour himself... it is a very special timepiece, wear in the best of your health. Best, mahesh.,

I heard they even have a photo of Dufour hanging in the studio.

What’s the price difference? The only difference is the case material? I suppose buckle/clasp as well? Everything else the same?

Only differences are case material and color of the index and logo on the dial

Or just the color if the logo?

Or you can look for the close-up photos. My crappy iPhone photos won’t help much here 😅

Yes the PT will be easier to wear and can dress down with a causal strap. The RG is also very stunning with a Warner tone. Feels very different on the wrist

Thanks for sharing the illustration of the flower with stem

l love these!
