Thanks Erik. Car polish sounds interesting and I have one. And this watch is my daily wearer with no plan to sell it anytime soon.

It isn't an easy task to capture it. Two photos posted. Watch looks perfect in one photo but you can see scratches in the other photo.

It's an interesting point about the shorter service interval which definitely worth to consider. And the capped gold can be problem. But I asked about it in boutique and they told me it isn't. Gold is 0.3 mm thick. But I didn't expect anything than 'no problem, it's OK'. Thanks

Ok, I have these watches:

  • Edox Les Bémonts Shade of Time Automatic, semi-skeleton, steel case, white dial, brown leather strap (ref. 85300-3-AIN)
  • Edox Chronorally-S F1 Sauber, quartz, steel case, blue dial, batman bezel (blue x black), black rubber strap (ref. 10229-3NBUCA-BUIN)
  • Edox Les Bémonts Chronograph Automatic, steel case, silver dial, black leather strap (ref. 01120-3-AIN)
  • Edox Chronoffshore-1 Automatic, skeleton, golden case (PVD, no gold), black ceramic bezel, black rubber strap (ref. 80099-37R-NIR)
  • Alpina Startimer Pilot Automatic, gunmetal steel case, dark blue dial, matching steel bracelet (ref. AL-525NN4TS6B)
  • Frederique Constant Flyback Chronograph Manufacture, steel case, dark blue dial, blue alligator leather strap (ref. FC-760N4H6)

So, yes, I have mostly Edox watches and yes, half of my collection has blue dial. Now, beside I really like Edox as brand and blue color, I would like to purchase watch in a higher class and mainly something different. 

If you ask me, what do I need? Nothing, nobody needs more than one watch, especially if we are talking about entry- or mid-luxury segment. I work in an office so I don´t need any robust or 100 ATM waterproof watch. But every robustness is welcomed, for sure (I know, Navi is only 3 ATM WR).

Even if I am white-collar person in my job, I would like to wear the watch I pick in my spare time with the t-shirt and shorts clothes on (again, Navi is more for shirt-time). Why these 3 watches? I don´t want a watch smaller than 41 mm (rather bigger than smaller, that´s the reason why Navi), I really like them all (as I like a many many watches). These 3 are just my favourites right now, nothing more. I like Navi for how it looks, it is big, tool watch, instantly recognisable, movement with quite long power reserve. In terms of Tudor, I love S&G, same power reserve. I can wear them everytime (don´t like wearing leather strap in a hot days for some 3-4 months a year), but non-visible movement which is dissapointment. I travel a lot, so GMT sounds good to me. And I like Zenith for the great movement (el primero 😍). I really like skeletons (I know, a lot of enthusiasts doesn´t), two strap/bracelet options, the brand will step up in the future imo.

Pricewise, less is (always) better but it is ok up to 10k USD/EUR. In terms of value, again, if value is going higher above the seller price, it´s always welcomed but none of them is Rolex, so I expect the value will going down. If it holds a value about 70%, it would be nice but there is no plan to change or sell the watch, I would like to keep it for atleast few years.

Just want to enjoy wearing it and look at it even without looking what the time is 😀

What do you mean 'still no context'?
