Here's another one. Classic watch, and I love the way they look, but I didn't enjoy wearing it. Even just looking at the photo now, I kind of miss it.

I’ve handled this watch in the metal, I’m hoping the current owner will regret selling it to me one day.

It’s just a tad small, and the angles not flat bezel makes it feel smaller.

I’m also not a fan of the dial detail and the hands look like they are cheap and stamped.

FooGirl loves it though.

Oh man, I can go on and on in this thread. I guess my top candidate was my PO LMLE. Although I prefer the details of the newer PO, there's just a charm about the LMLE that convinced me to buy it. Unfortunately, it turned out to be one of the most uncomfortable watches I've ever owned. The lugs kept digging into my wrist until I couldn't stand wearing it any longer. I worked much better on a strap, but it wasn't the same experience, so I moved it along.


The next one was the SMP 75th Anniversary. It was love at first sight and I ordered the first one delivered in the U.S. but I couldn't divert my attention from how at certain angles, the flat spots on the dial where the lettering is placed just ruined the aesthetics of the dial for me so I moved it along as well.
