5370 In my opinion, you already have the nicest modern PP PCC ie the 5970

That 2 portholes absolutely spoils it for me too

Both pc or non-pc versions. the wire spring is frankly rather unsightly

1815 perpetual calendar Rattrapante and the 1815 Rattrapante It’s not hidden - the wheel rotates - so it’s just by coincidence it’s hidden

Chronos with the registers at 12 and 6, instead of the tradition 9 and 3.. but unfortunately this wears to big for me becoz of the very thin bezel

Looking at your pics, I think I know what happened. The wire lugs have a little notch to secure it in place when you screw in those tiny screws.. from your pics, it seems they were installed in the opposite direction and so the screws weren’t catching the notch eg even the wire lugs look rather chew

It’s just hidden under the price when the center wheel is rotating Below is pic of the honey gold 1815 rattrapant movement from monochrome - still there This is a substandard way to make a rattrapante and also quite cheap looking
