I’ve seen both the silver and black dial in person. Great everyday watch and great movement. I would have purchased the silver dial if I had a place for it in my collection.

I own this Jazzmaster Viewmatic. The photos don’t do it justice. I had no intention of purchasing this watch but saw it at an AD and immediationly was drawn to how the light plays off the indices and the pattern on the center of the dial. It’s one of my most worn and favorite watches in my collection.

I haven’t mainly because the watch is running with the normal accuracy range. For that reason I doubt they will touch it and you might be right. The warranty is probably void at this point.

The watch runs well on wrist but erratic off.

I imagine a scenario where it is regulated, but still erratic and I am told “Well, it’s within the standard range for a standard Sellita movement” A COSC movement would assure a tighter tolarance. I am not a fan of the Squale 1521. I prefer a crown at the 3 o’clock position and 40mm or less case size. I essentially love everything about the 1545 minus the movement.

The movement is a bit erratic. On wrist, it gains a handful a seconds a day. Off wrist, that number jumps to 15-20 seconds fast a day. I can’t imagine that it is magnitized based on the on wrist accuracy. I would like better rate stability that may be achieved by regulating the movement but figured tighter tolerances that COSC movements require would be optimal.

I agree 100% with every point in this post. I cringe whenever I hear someone like Teddy Baldassarre (love his work) say “entry door” or categorize any watch around $1k as a watch for some young professional slowing working their way up the financial ladder to afford something better. Some of us appreciate luxury watches but don’t personally want to climb these tiers and simply see tiers as a marketing gimmick. There are clear diminishing returns after a certain price point and the bulk of the price is because of the name on the dial. The watches I own tend to be priced around $800-$1k. I own a $2k mechanical chronograph watch but given the complication, it makes sense. I struggle to even want to purchase anything above $2k.
