To count oneself as a serious collector and still like this...kind of..a little ?

 

Heresy isn’t the word I would use.

 

Admit it with abandon, the green to yellow contrast is beautiful.

 

The rare and delicious broccoli cheddar dial.

 

Modified speedies are ok... just saying...

Looks nice to me.

 

That's not a watch for me.

Everything I like in vintage watches is missing in that.

 

Shouldn't the hands also be green for that reference?

 

That was the limited edition, I believe.

BTW, without the luminova it would make a nice daily beater...

 

If you like a watch go for it. Who cares what other people think.

 

You're new here, aren't you?

 

Exactly. I'd buy that watch in a heartbeat at the right price.

 

Nice piece if the price is right

Crap investment, but it's so pretty it would a nice daily wearer

 

If OP didn't care what other people think, why did he ask?

 

I find this combination quite modern and refreshing actually

 

Wear what you like and be happy!

 

Im not asking what to go for or not, I ve owned this watch since 1996 ..the question was not that, neither about price, not about "investement" value or any other of those kind of questions

 

I like it, I don't mind redials or polished cases - just depends on how they are done IMO, many of the watches people enthuse about on some of the threads just make me wonder why they'd want to own them - I wouldn't want to be seen with them on my wrist, but then I don't collect/invest in watches, I want to wear them. When I see something for sale the first question for me is would I like to wear that, then I do the searches to see how original it is, but beyond that not too bothered So far, of the two vintage watches I've bought one is totally original in all respects and the other everything but the crown & strap. But I'd be happy to to buy a watch with a dog of a dial with the view to having it redialed. This may change over time as I'm new to the whole watch thing, but I doubt it.

I like the overall look, colour combination wise but I want to own original condition watches so I would not consider buying it, not even for an occstional wearer.

 

It's as crisp and delightful as a fresh apple. I dig it!

but on second thought... doesn't it need a dive bezel?

 

I don't follow, my kids may have been right that Im very slow...I say good thing they left the house while they still knew everything better than me
