If you own a half dozen watches, most are in the jewelry case most of the time.
When I do something active, I wear my G-Shock.

Look, it's one thing to have a refinished dial, but it should at least be done correctly. The one the OP showed was terrible. It's a manual wind Rolex with "Oyster Perpetual" on the dial, the coronet is off-center, and the minute track extends over the numerals. The hands are also incorrect (most likely). One shouldn't forget, however, that any refinished dial has a significant impact on the value of a Rolex (moreso than most other brands), even if a perfect replica of the original.
