If I could help design the watch from the ground up I would love to start a watch company.
I'd also do it if I could just design the case/dial/hands etc and source existing movements.
I would do all this under one condition, that it brings joy to watch enthusiasts.
Unfortunately the bracelet was a speidel. I'd buy an original bracelet but they are super pricey and the Montreux strap looks amazing.
About 15 minutes with some sandpaper (800-5000) and poly watch but yes it was an amazing result. This was a very lucky find. I've been in that shop a dozen times over the past year and nothing. Then BOOM!
Position 0(crown all the way in) On the crown turns it omnidirectional. I think this is actually from the 70s but I love the look and I'm happy I don't need to spend another 30.00 on a crystal.
Those are some real beauties
