Ikr mate ๐. Think it's the 'original collectors' mindset... Where the original is the best even though some of them could be flawed...
Heard of the Orient Mako 40 'debacle'? The original had a major flaw where some minute markers had really wide spacings n it was found on the actual sales units... ๐ So, naturally, reviewers n buyers who didn't notice that before made a lotta noise...
Then after Orient re-released the corrected version the 'flawed' original became a collector's item... ๐
I think I still prefer watches like 38 - 44... It's got nothing to do with my wrist size, I just prefer slightly bigger watches n still trying to get used to 37mm n below... Lol ๐ ๐คฃ
Try not to use water mate, use machine oil only. Seep a few more drops around all the edges n let it sit for a while. Then slowly turn the bezel to spread the oil internally... Hopefully that helps. ๐
