• That's why it's worth the money.

    They've simplified the mechanism greatly, and it's a thing of mechanical beauty.

    I want a watch that is understated, quite classic, that will still look good when I am at the end of my life, and one that has some elegance to the mechanism.

    I even love the cleanness of the white faced model, though I do love being able to be in a dark theatre and to be able to check the time... which is how I originally found the dark faced version.

    Perhaps the white face will be good enough? I've not had a light faced watch, maybe they're readable enough in dim light?

  • With that kind of budget just buy a nice clean vintage Explorer 1016 and be done with it...

    How about HabringĀ²?

    Low volume, Austrian, all in-house. Possibly the smallest watch manufacture in the world, and the prices are very good for what you get.
