I think it's a remarkable job done because it finally makes the perpetual calendar live up to its name; especially in German "Ewiger Kalendar".

The eternal calendar is amazing but even some of the dial treatments and open case backs of the lesser models look great. All the best, Jon

Is that the dial is made from glass and the hour numerals seems to be glued to the dial. On a youtube video by Revolution they have some good macro footage and it can clearly be seen there that glue is appiled horribly bad - with significant mistakes near...
