Like I said that from a strictly visual perspective. I dont know much about the mechnanics/engineering of the watch so I cant judge them. When it comes to watches I like a more subtle approach and a bright blue watch with gems just isnt it haha

Fair enough.
I admit to preferring the Arnold and Son versions, but as both are long since sold out (I think each maker offered 20 pieces), it's a moot point now.
FWIW, the movement was in all probability made by La Joux-Perret, the movement maker who acquired British Masters, which was the owner of the Arnold & Son and Graham until 2010, which, IIRC, is when the watch was released.
Arnold & Son was later sold to Citizen. I don't know if Graham was too. (I've never been that "into" Graham, so I haven bothered to find out.)
The price for the basic version of the Grand Moon watch was the same from each maker at ~$280K.)
You can read more about it here in Graham's press release:
When one looks at what both companies offer these days, you see the overlap is all but gone. <wink>
All the best.
