Let Me Retract My Criticism of the Moonphase El Primero

My apology, guys, for the hasty and flawed assessment of this chronograph.

This sample owned by Nottambulo looks very different from the one that was sold at auction, and is far better looking -- to my eye. The hands are the most obvious difference, as well as the design of the inner bezel. And, of course, we have a flattering photo, as compared with a harsh looking "head shot".

Yes, I would be happy to wear this one from Nottambulo!!
