Sorry for duplicate post… really interested about what people think about this one. I was discussing it with a friend.
He thought the dial had too many specs for him. I thought the specs were the one reason I found the watch interesting.

So, what do you think?

I like it as well, the speckles are regular and not very noticeable, the dial looks like a nice pimpled face 😁

C'est malin. No, not a pimpled face at all-- a nice freckled face-- BIG difference.

Reposting the Seamaster as it got a new strap this summer giving it a whole new character.... and a US military pilot watch (Waltham A17, 1956 issue) with a lot of radium lume.
