It's cool! Not one you will see on mostly everyone's Day-Date you'll encounter.
If you like it, buy it! |

I think it would have a very limited market for resale. Wouldn't bother me if I thought I would love it forever... but I think one might tire of it. To each his own...thats why the ice cream parlour has 31 flavours.

Not my cup of tea, and I would agree that it would probably be harder to flip than most.

It's kinda growing on me, actually has a clean balance in a weird way. Thanks for pics.

Plain dials can always be obtained for a dial change. This dial you would not
be able to get if you decide later you wanted to replace say a silver or champ stick! |

The dial looks crooked. Look at "Superlative Chronometer/Officially Certified"

If that is the one that has been for sale on TZ for weeks now, that may tell you something about it's resale and desirability. You can always change the dial to something different if you get bored, which is why I would be more concerned with the condition of the watch/bracelet. Keep us posted!

I think it would be hard to sell that. If you plan on keeping forever, rock on.

I think it looks nice, it's original and yet very simple!

I tend to be attracted to certain watches when I know they are not particularly popular as I like the idea of not seeing one out in the wild. This particular dial doesn't speak to me at all, so I would not purchase it. If you like it, go for it.

I like it, but maybe without the two diamonds.

Not to my taste, but if it makes you happy, why not?

It certainly is different, but it's not one that I would buy. Go with what you like.

Thanks for sharing, I didn't know such a dial existed officially. Looks very plain (to me) though, might be hard to flip if another watch catches your eyes in the future.

You know when people see something really ugly and they say "it's different" just to be polite? Well this one is really different!

Am I the only one who's thinking it? If you buy the watch and it eventually no longer catches your fancy (I unfortunately suffer from the same disorder ;-) ), you could always simply buy another dial to use to sell the watch, then sell the "unique" dial separately to a collector. Just my .02....

i think it is the diamonds that spoil the dial. without them it'd be much more balanced and understatedly elegant. with the diamonds it looks like a fake dial.
