Hello from my new Duometre! This one has always been on the radar but with the recent Duometre releases, my interest was renewed. There is not much to say that has not been said already, this wears very well for the 42mm size, and the matte dial is really nice to look at in the sun. I had recently been tempted by the Polaris line, but that will have to wait until next time around. This piece joins a Tribute to Geophysic in steel and a Master Memovox 2016 Boutique edition. I am feeling very good about that small 3-piece JLC collection.
