Yet despite the above, I fully agree that the models with complications, like this day-date-power reserve and certainly with Tourbillon are very good nice great watches.

I agree that the Date only model has somewhat tainted the rest of the FiftySix line which is a shame (DayDate and Complete Calendar both has geneva seal and in-house movement). However I can appreciate the entry model, in fact I am tempted to purchase the...
