Thanks so much!
Dear Emmanuel,
Thanks so much for such a comprehensive list. I totally agree with you that the right movement to complement my 2509 is shaped caliber 9-90. I'll definitely stay within this movement!

Best,
Stefano

Good morning, Stefano.
Here are some detailed thoughts with photos, links, etc. First, here's how the Pagoda 5500G looks on my wrist: It's a nice watch in itself, but I am not too fond of how it wears. I have dedicated a thread to it here: www.watchprosite.com And another one t...
