Very true. I actually like the old Manhattan ones. Really wasn't a fan when I first saw them a few years back, the mix of shapes and the Roman numerals on the bezel but there's something about them I'm drawn to. The gold chronometer versions with linen dial and coin bezel are also really nice.
Banger.
Reminds me of this De Ville which I absolutely love, if only the De Ville looked like this now.
