That is interesting, Bill
I would have thought that the 4400 would be exactly the same in both watches, but perhaps not. I wonder if the finishing is any different on the movements in the two different watches... Well, it is not a big deal. I was just curious.

I am stupid. I had it in my hands once...
... and then I decided to sleep on it. And after that - after one day already - it was gone..., sold to a fast decision maker :-( And now there is a waiting list of several months. :-(( These are not the right circumstances to get a good discount :-((( Th...
