Frederique Constant Slimline Moonphase
It’s a rare pleasure in the price range we discuss here at worn&wound to find watches with manufacture, or in-house, movements. It’s even more rare for them to be Swiss made calibers. Well, that’s exactly what we have here with the new Frederique Constant Slimline Moonphase Manufacture. For a starting price of around $3,500 one can obtain a watch that seems to defy the laws of luxury watches and be, while not inexpensive, in the accessible price range.The Slimline, of which there are several variations, is as clean as dress watches come. Simple and elegant cases with gentle curves and great finishing are topped with sapphire crystals, front and back,?reserved domed dials, applied markers and thin leaf hands.

I will look at how this 41mm column-wheel, vertical clutch chronograph wears, and if the matter of where the movement came from is even something worth noting at all. This is your HODINKEE Week On The Wrist with the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chro

Intro and new/old watch
New poster here. Received this yesterday, I've been looking at these for a while. I had Ashley take a quick look at this one before I purchased it (many thanks to him).

I guess I'll be cruising here from time to time. I've been also looking at the SM 300s but haven't seen the right example for me yet.

When it rains it pours so to speak

Does all D serie Datejust 116200 have inner bezel engraved ?
