If I choose to leave the house with one of my vintage pieces, I’m anticipating being in a hurry.
Up to five minutes is acceptable, even though my dirtiest, not serviced since the 70s or 80s soviet nuggets are capable of +/- 30-ish
I got one very similar to this for 21€. Had to demagnetise the tweezers (with the provided hammer) but otherwise it gets the job done. I am by no means a professional but I have been tinkering with some old Russian mechanicals just fine.
I get it sometimes but it's not my thing. I also tend to be pretty ambivalent towards the original watches. I prefer a new, more creative design even if I'm spending big money on something from a well-known brand
I wear a Seiko 5 as my daily after switching from a no-date Casio. Can't go without that day-date complication. Yeah it sometimes messes up the design but the added utility is more important to me. A watch with a perfectly integrated date that comes to mind is the Zenith Defy classic with that skeletonized date wheel - invisible until you need it and also lumed.
I see it as slightly more complex than that. There is a difference between clashing and contrasting. In my opinion- grey, black and white always work. A hue that matches the dial in a similar or darker tone is also a good idea. You can also match the strap to subtle accents on the watch. Contrasting takes some trying to get right and adding some bright color to a monochrome piece also tends to look good
