    I fail to see either the beauty or the value in such a watch.

    And by saying so I am by no means meaning to sound snarky or am I intending to disparage anyone who sees the watch as a thing of beauty and worth.

    I just don't understand the appeal and I am wondering aloud, in 1s and 0s.

    I'm genuinely mystified.

    What do you mean by Midcase Larry? You mean « midsize case »?

    Dial is very comparable to this one (from Goldberger).

    Mark, check page before in Goldberger. Same case ref as the one sold, although G suggests 37mm, and hte sub dials similar....
