great video! thanks! lol, could not agree more with you re the looks, but that the movement and its history is more important! and also an interesting point you make re the fact that the research process is part of the value of a watch! totally agree there, even though it never occurred to me until now ...lol I have no knowledge about this, but I cant see any reason why GP would want or need to modify the JLC movement. Wasnt that the whole point back then: take it "as is" to reduce in-house costs?...just a thought Love that you mention the IWC! I have been trying to find out more about that, but struggled as I didnt know which model it was. Now i know: mark xii ! thanks!
