Ummm.... Huh?

Considering JLC's position as an originator of movements of the highest complexity and that BP uses bought in movements I don't see the claim being worth the screen it's written on. And BP is certainly not in the same league as AP and is a long way short of PP.

Very strange post...

I would do JLC without thinking twice

Now are we comparing brands or comparing the actual watches in this thread?

I am quite surprised by the outcome as I think the Cellini is best looking of the bunch.

JLC would be my choice. Although I think that given the budget he could opt for a higher end JLC. might want to consider a reverse. Just a thought.

Great comment and appreciate your effort to keep this thread on track. While trying to respect the history of each of these brands, it truly is about comparing the watches in this thread.
