aren't we all sooo tired and bored of these same watches? the countries in a circle around the dial? there's got to be a more original way to do this. It's certainly very nice! But... same as everything else, no? As the years go by and we become seasoned collectors, we can't help but notice that everyone's doing the same thing. For a great manufacture to stand apart... something great has to be designed and , well, stand apart. I agree with Michael that, even if it's going to be the same as so many others, there are others who do this same thing with finer composition and elegance. JLC in particular has made this 'same old' design seem new and even iconic.
