in regards to the 197, to my eye at least, it is a rare instance of the exception. The radiomir works well with ROSE gold, at least for me, and the hobnail dial underscores the very distinctiveness of the model. Just love love love the 197! J
And a huge congrats to you. Love the contrast of the foud and the dead beat seconds. Love the contrast between the colors of the dial. And love the contrast beyween the brush and polish. It's all about the play between contrasts:) Wear in the best of health! jason
