Hi BLomman

Thanks very much for the description and picture, it is certainly helpful!  For awhile now, I've liked the idea of an 8 day movement for the sheer convenience of it.  Couple that with the superb looks of the 875 and the classy nature of this line, and you've got a winning combination.  I'm excited to try one now, and will entertain the search shortly.  I appreciate the feedback!

 

Have a great weekend!

Lucky shot – I am really bad with the macro lens. I have to learn from Jocke and Tony! Best Blomman

Hi Doug, I have been very happy with my Grand Date, having owned it for 6 years. Still extremely reliable and there is something very pleasurable about winding it once a week and watching the RdM 'count' the days of the week down. Some find the case rathe...
