This is why I don’t get vintage. What a piece of shit. 13k? It looks like you could blow on it and it would disperse like sand.

I do "get" vintage, but I agree with you. To me, this has gone well past just simply "vintage". It's looks ruined.

I love this comment! There is hardly any utility left in that! I am going to borrow your analysis here, IMHO a POS. I find it interesting to the extent I might pick up an unusual rock near a river bank, look at it for a few minutes and then see how many times I can skip it across the water.

This Dial is still more legible than some of the new Rolex’s.
