A perverse thought
Hi respo. Yes, for a sports watch it would be hard to improve upon such a robust and servicable movement as the FP 1185.

Understood Bill, but...
who would have though of an OS Perpetual Calendar until VC did it? And the 18k gold watch & bracelet OS isn't exactly entry-priced :-0 The Overseas has proven to be an extremely flexibile line, from tool watches to haute horlogerie! What I'm sayin her...
