Re: Does Hand Finishing Matter ?
I view an attractive display back as nice to have in a watch but, not really a necessity as you rarely see it.
It wouldn't overly bother me whether hand or machine finished albeit I do appreciate all forms of traditional craftsmanship so I can see the appeal of that.
Most of the movement finishing in the article looks exquisite although I found the Breguet a little ostentatious.

Quite frankly a solid caseback that has excellent engraving is also very appealing.
