Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 Large Date Moon-Phases
Girard-Perregaux reveals the complexity behind the dial, adding a level of mechanical involvement to an already dramatic timepiece. The movement's wheels and levers co-star with the large date and moon-phase displays to increase appreciation of the intricate inner engine.Too often, the fascinating interplay of components that power timepiece displays is hidden behind a dial. Girard-Perregaux draws the curtain back with a dial fashioned from clear, tinted sapphire.

Would you, and why?Again, I've issued the its your choice advice often myself but curious to get the forum thoughts.
