Macho or MMD. Help
Hi. I'm a first time poster to the UN forum. I have always been interested in the watches but never an owner. I am kind of leaning toward the Macho Palladium as I like an interesting case shape and material as well as the ability to view the mvt through the back. Does anyone have experience with the comfort of wearing a watch, especially for longer periods that is 'wider than it is long'? Unfortunately I don't live in a place where I can try the watches on sequentially to compare. Also is the palladium case 'hype'. It is sold as being 'a rare metal from the platinum family' but is actually less valuable than the less expensive rose gold of the MMD, when comparing the base metal price. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Jim

Thank you very much for the great information Mike. I really enjoyed your review of the Villemont watch. Its amazing how the prices of these metals have risen since your writing and watches in precious metal cases are being rapidly snapped up. Jim
