Not sure I'm in love with this one (it could just be the gold bracelet), but wanted to get any feedback on this one? Are the lugs edges too smoothed over or is that just the photo? How do you generally feel about patina on the dial? Is it charming or a turn off (or depends)?

I've just picked up a nice 168.010 dome dial, I love these watches, they have a classic, generic-1960s watch look that's timeless.
I rather like the more anonymous elegance of the round-case dome dials.
A man after my own heart and I've said the same thing many times 👍
(but don't forget the .004 dome dials....)
and as long as folks have their heads turned by pie-pans then there are more dome dials for the rest of us
