Refreshing to see a first nice watch not being a Sub or a Moonwatch My old Duo says congrats!

"All mine.", that is the best feeling, when you are in love with a watch. All the "work" in getting it is fading and the shere exitement takes over. You might want to join Wrist Scan tomorrow: "Your latest catch" is the theme. Best Moritz
In my opinion this is one of the nicest JLC daily wearers with a fantastic complication and 'ultra-thin' (translation: maybe not really ultra-thin but, more importantly, it's a reasonable and comfortable thickness even with the dual dials).

Appreciate your kind words
