First watch was a 1963, second a Kudoke 2. Need to learn more about horology, specifically movements

You smoke those orchids?
What happened to the VC?
Very interesting annual calendar. High horology done in Cartier style. I've never seen nor read anything about this model. You'll certainly be in rare company wearing one as one won't often come across another person with one.
I took my screen name from a nice yellow path (orchid) registered in 1977. A friend did name a paph hybrid after me that was awarded a silver medal in Japan. I am torn between the Cartier and the Vacheron Constantin Fiftysix Complete Calendar. Both are $$$$ used or new. I will see both in person before I commit to either, plus I need to save $. The VC in gold. Out of my league, even used.
That’s a really nice display. I’d buy it.

Oh! I’d choose the VC any day! But that’s me.
I actually like this better, easy to read no problem.
Respect that this is different from their usual stuff but it’s a pass from me. I feel like there are other brands better suited to offer this level of complication. But cool watch nonetheless thanks for sharing
You could talk me into anything Cartier.
I don’t know why, but I’ve never liked any of the round Cartier's, so it would be the VC for me.

Be different,i love it don't let it go
The Rotonde collection is iconic and the high horology Cartier watches are simply stunning. I would go for the Cartier!
Good Lord, it's a little busy to say the least. I rather like the bold case shape, and I like a prominent cabuchon as much as the next man, but after that it becomes a mess. Roman's yes, but on a very clean dial, enamel or a clean guilloche pattern, like a Breguet or a Reverso, but mixed up with a plethora of text here it starts to take on the air of lacklustre AliExpress mashup.
I ended up purchasing the Choptank from Towson Benzinger collaboration. Should have it in three months. I really like the 7751 movement.

The level of craftsmanship for around 8K is insane
