570
I've been in the mood for a new Calatrava. I'm not a big fan of the crown guard models or the 215 movement.
I've been considering a 570. Everyone is aware of the beauty of the 2526's style simplicity etc. But what is the general feel about the 570's. I don't hear much about them.
There are those out there that are so much more knowlegable and I thought I would be able to get general impressions. Why did they switch to center seconds. Is there a link or someplace I should be looking? Anyway. Thank you.

It is a great watch

Hi John, you have good taste - it is a fantastic watch! It is the classic design of the ref 96 but it is much larger and thus wearable. I have one in my collection and I enjoy it very much. They have been built with different movements and dial designs. ...
