I bought this watch the end of 2009. Given that it will have 2 years. I retoruve everything written by the previous reviewers: it is beautiful, it is heavy. The current date is invisible: it matters for people like me who are approaching their sixties ... You are not wearing it one day, and despite intensive movements of the weeks before it stops. The automatic winding does not allow autonomy. Yet it is to avoid the chore of battery change I made that choice. And finally, finally, yesterday, the indicator needle of the "load" fell. She wanders in the dial. As for needles, they make a nice move back and forth ... Moral: the model should no longer exist but aprsè have thrown in the trash, I will choose another brand ...
