I do understand that two types of watches can't put bread on the table but some of the authenticity is lost. So yes, if I had the cash I would buy a 1950 but as an addition, not a replacement.

this can be said of any "obscure" brand that happen to hit it...Panerai hit it with Slytech and has since added to their styles...
but in a way..Rolex does the same...adding watch styles to cater to the customer...
I would like to add one to my collection...but it would have to be one with their own manuifattura...just not keen on ETA...
