Jules was famous for hating Rolex so he made his movments crown positions incompatible with Rolex cases? Maybe a theory? kidding aside, Mike might be able to have a look at it for you? or Phong? If not, I've got a guy in MA that does great Chrono work.
Of course I have. However they're in my opinion a small boutique brand with little to do regarding grand complications, inventions, etc. They're gorgeous watches and they have amazing decoration and all that jazz... don't get me wrong, I love them but I put what I feel are the steady, rock-solid brands that either command the most for history, complication, production or contribution to horologie ahead. If you want to talk about people that just make neat beautiful watches there's like 30 really cool boutique manufacturers out there I'd put up with Patek any day of the week... but they aren't Patek. For example, have you ever seen the MCT Sequential 2 http://www.mctwatches.com/content/sequential-two-s200
Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm considering picking up a vintage or semi-vintage Omega Speedmaster - GENUINE - Question is, manual or automatic? Please weigh in
I second that on Hublot. It's Patek, Audemars, and Vacheron... then Breguet, Rolex/Omega/Tudor, Zenith, JLC, then the rest - Lange, Panerai, Glashutte, etc In my humble opinion...
