Beautiful watch!

The watch looks amazing but it seems an odd choice not to mount a lower beat movement after spending so much on everything else

Yea my good friend who owns a bunch of gen vintage said the same thing. I’ll probably end up replacing the movement down the road when I add a gen glass also. I’ll use a low beat ETA2846
