don't know, but

Bill, I don't know what my favorite case is, but I do love how VC manages to make cases that are elegantly simple, yet with discreet sophistication that makes them interesting. You show a great example in the Patrimony Ultra Thin (33093), which was the watch that drew me to VC when I was first picking out a fine watch. I wasn't previously aware of the brushed side that you showed in your post, but that detail gives me an even greater appreciation for that watch. The Patrimony Traditionnelle Self Winding (87172) is another nice example of a deceptively simple case with some sophisticated touches. As you highlighted in your review, there is just enough of a step along the edge of the case and some subtle patterning at the bottom edge to make it interesting. Indeed, your pointing out those subtle features helped encourage me to buy a preowned one when I had the opportunity to do so.
