Fair enough, but he did ask. I am rather conservative in my tastes, and I like the re-invention and rejuvenation of British time-keeping, from an aesthetic standpoint, like the wall clocks at Greenwich. Roger Smith understands this, amongst other very important things. Lange is highest amongst popular mass-production high-horology in terms of finishing, Patek is remarkable for pocket watches (and a great value if you buy grey market), Vacheron for their design line, JLC for their movements, Omega because they speak to me, and Zenith because they know how to build watches that can do amazing things.

I understand if you don't like it Anon...but I have reasons why my list exists as is. What are you wearing today Anon? You should share it with us!

>an old group photo...an Uncle Seiko Flatlink on an 1861 can do wonders...

So be it.

My opinions are based on my observations of fact mixed with my experiences as a human bean. If you came to the same conclusion as I did based on your observations of handling the watch in hand, then I'm glad that at least I'm not alone.

If I said, 'the Rolex Maxicase actually ruins the aesthetic appeal of the SeaDweller for XYZ reasons', would it be an opinion of my own or would I have stolen it from someone else? Who knows....but if it's true, then no one owns the observation except the idiots who made the watch look terrible.

No, I picked it up for a few hundred over that. No one is selling an 1861 now for under 3500. You don't seem to understand the secondary market, so I'll mansplain it to you. Watches on the secondary market are only worth what people will pay for them. Since the Moonwatch is desirable in this configuration because it is the same movement that has been on countless space flights, and because it has the modern bracelet, and because it is the most traded (i.e. bought and sold by the same owner) watch on the market today, the price is governed by who is willing to take the largest hit combined with currency exchange rates being what they are.

When you buy pre-owned, you factor in condition, box and papers, etc., and the price rises or falls depending on that. Would I sell any of my watches for what I actually think they're worth? Of course not. But I'm not in the habit of buying and selling watches. I buy for keeps, and I look for the lowest price.

>why do you insist on AOCing?

Grey is an unfortunate compromise. Think of it this way; unless the grey is textured, then it's seen as a white that is dirty or a black that has aged. You can't win with grey unless you go slate, which has texture.
