Agree. Even if the rest isn’t salvageable, keep that dial!!

Restoring it, or at least trying, could be a fun project.

Beautiful watch. Only you know from your finances and preferences whether this is an advisable purchase.

IMO, yes; thst watch looks too big.

Nice. It’s interesting to see what people gravitate to. They’re all basically active outdoorsy watches, except the pocket watch.

Which one do you wear for a dressy occasion?

Casio and Seiko are the gateway drugs to watch collecting.

100% agree! This is my beater watch. I see you put a nicer strap on yours.

“I didn’t know there were watches that weren’t dive watches, until somebody introduced me to the Casio LCD.”

I like the Tudor, BTW. 🙂

Get a cool vintage, or a pre-worn Sinn. Don’t buy new so early in your collection; figure out what you like first.

I think I would swap Grand Seiko and Cartier, and add Sinn in the tier with Hamilton. Would add Blancpain to dsame tier as JLC.

No RGM fans here? I love how they look, but can’t afford one. I guess they have ETA movements (? not sure) so probably not on the tier with Omega, etc.

Eterna and Enicar deserve mention, and would rank equal with Longenes.

A. Lange Datograph perpetual. 0% chance I get it, but I’m cool with that.

It waxes and wanes, like all my interests. Other things come up, to occupy my time, etc. I’ve found that my interest spikes when something cool and new comes out. That happened to me when Grand Seiko became its own brand, and came out with the spring drive, etc. I made a trip to another city, just to go to a GS dealer and look at it. Suddenly all of watches took on renewed interest for me.

Just my experience. I’d say if your interest is ebbing, give it a rest. Something may pique your interest later, to bring you back.

JLC Master Calendar, or Ultrathin Moonphase

Can’t tell from the pic, but Luminox is a safe bet.

Do YOU like it? If yes, then you didn’t mess up. Looks fine to me.
