Thank you. Yes my radar has swept over vintage offerings. Designs are truly enticing but serviceability and durability are my concerns. Plexiglass is not open for consideration. And I am looking at 18KYG case exclusively for vintage pieces.
This narrowed down my search to a few nice ones such as:
ETA 2892 based movements or Sellitas are definitely serviceable. And there isn't too much patina to bother me either. But I haven't come around to pulling the trigger on either of these gorgeous pieces as I want to keep looking for that 100% satisfaction score, which these timepieces don't achieve as I feel they add some redundancy in my existing collection.
I could glance and tell the time in 3 seconds. But the real problem I face is not legibility, oh no it's the distraction. I often (and I emphasize that it happens often) glance down to check the time and get caught up in admiring my beautiful watch and then glance back up only to realise I didn't really pay attention to what time was displayed on the dial. This is not a bad problem. I love the excuse to take a second glance at my watch and hopefully actually pay attention to the watch hands this time.
Really great looking Bambino and strap you've got 👌 I can safely say that you're the first if not the only one with such eye candy on your wrist!
One of my signature wristwears (because the watch itself is rare to begin with, never mind the aftermarket bracelet I fitted on to it):
Erebus is a critical character in the Warhammer 40,000 franchise. It almost feels wrong not to prefix his name with "F*ck", given that's how almost everyone into 40k likes to refer to him. But you're right about one thing - he's a child of chaos for certain!
