But to your watch… I love this model, and was anxious to try one during the Topper visit I describe in this thread. But, Oh! It looked terrible on me! And I thought that pano date would be so great to have. Ah, well… Another watch will pop up. But I agree with you that this is an important manufacturer, with pieces that are very attractive. Have a good summer. Do you like classical music? Do you ever get to the Savonlinna Opera Festival? Such a stunning setting! Good luck to you! FH
