You mean because we are old, we can buy shxxxx stuff and don't care?

Jeez give the OP a break. He didn't buy "shxxx stuff". You don't like the watch. We get it.

I think hoipolloi should tell us his thoughts.

Well, when I buy a SS pie pan with date (168.005) I always prefer ones with original crown (decagonal with thin logo) hour markers with onyx inserts and small hour marker next to date window. Cross hair is a bonus.
You may be happy with your point of views and we are ok to disagree.

Wow, leave those out there still in the wild for the rest of us!

By all respect, and I mean it, it is hard to bring a point of rationality across if you are showing a collection of 7x the same (or almost the same) watch. 😁

While it is preferable to have onyx inlays, I think that 60+ year old paint that seemingly haven't faded yet aren't prone to fade in the near future. Also, being a later issue, it is more likely to have a cal. 564 rather than a 561, which is a plus in my book 😀

I don't know if you did in fact a good buy, I do know I envy it!
