I agree somewhat and its clear what they are going for but the question is what are the other options, with new models its pretty difficult to get this effect and buying vintage models has some downsides (desirable patinas come with a hefty price) and doesnt guarantee other factors such as time keeping general condition etc, I like the colour from faded bezels but is it worth the crazy premium not rn at least
This is a nice alternative but im not sure if i will go for it either
