.. 40mm self-winding...  Manual winding is good in general, but the dial design is not, well, my cup of tea.....

I also like the smaller size Altiplano - somehow I feel that the bigger size movement would "defeat" the purpose of making thin movements.....

Thanks for the comparison, Bill.  I would love one someday.....

Best,
Ken
