    Hey gang,

    I have a dilema. I'm thinking about the Aventurine.

    Please help. Please tell me how horrible and ugly it is - and post pics to prove it if ya got one.

    Thanks!

    Sorry, Joel, not trying to hijack the thread, but perhaps all the Aventurine owners are already sleeping to the light of their moons...

    I'm sure we'll see some by tomorrow morning...:p

    The Speedmaster with the Aventurine dial is one of my favorite watches. I can't afford to spend that much on a speedy right now but one day I hope to own a preowned one! I must get a regular Speedy first!!!

    Tried it on just yesterday. Thought I'd love it but it was just to sparkly for me. My wife's words were "it looks like a little girl's glitter watch, like her nail polish". So I think it's not for me! ::shy::

    I got mine a few months ago. It's hands down my favorite piece and I'm never letting go of it. That dial is captivating and one of a kind

    I don't think Superdoc has chimed in yet... hopefully soon, he does great shots!

    ..or rather, hopefully he doesn't! That will make me pine more!

    Those are definitely his shots. I spent weeks swooning over them until I found one at an unbeatable price. He actually helped push me towards picking it up! for which I am ETERNALLY grateful:thumbsup::thumbsup:

    Well then I stand corrected!

    Please tell me, does the dial have depth to it? Do the stars 'float'?
