That small seconds is perfectly placed on the dial. No numbers or indices are oddly squashed. It's beautiful.🤩

Sweet Georgia Br😳wn.

commented on Piggybacking off another post... post the watch or watches you regret buying ·

My regret is two fold. I impulse bought this Accutron and nearly immediately disliked the GMT and bezel set up.

I felt bad asking for a refund and that lead to the second mistake. I exchanged the Astronaut for a pair of Zodiacs. The diver has been returned due to a faulty movement (STP 1-11) and the Worldtimer languishes in my watch box... the color of the hands on the dial make it hard to read. I am now considering selling. Too embarassed to take it back to the AD.

Be VERY specific on what you want done and save your emails. They literally polished the gold off the conservatory on the caseback of hubby's vintage Constellation and then tried to argue it wasnt two toned when we sent it. We had thd original pics. Got a refund.

I agree with you about keeping the dial original.
