Re: 213.30.40.42.01.001 (SMP) vs 2594.52.00 (SMP)

: Hewybaby,

: Brilliant, thank you very much for your great, informative reply.
: From a personal point of view, I prefer 12-6-9 sub-dial
: arrangement and, given the choice, would opt for the proven,
: more reliable movement, i.e. the 1164. Finally, given that the
: 213 seems to be 25% cheaper than the 2594, my mind is now pretty
: much made up. However, I will still visit an AD and try one on
: first.

: Thank you once again for your help
: Neal

: P.S. Interestingly, when I was looking for a watch, I saw the blue
: faced version and liked it - but not as much as the 2594.
: However, when I saw the new black dialled version - it was love,
: nay lust at first sight!

UPDATE: Just visited an AD. Tried both on and I actually think the 2594 looks better! The 213 seemed a little too chunky too me. However, just to confuse the issue further, saw an ebel 1911 discovery and was quite taken. Anybody know anything (good or bad) about this brand/watch?
