would agree on the logo, kinda mehish, but i would love to see one in person.

I completely agree. I just think that the merit of RGM watches is in the completely Made in the USA ones. I am a fan of their designs, but I think that the price is a bit steep for the ETA variations. I just haven't seen enough information about them to really think about putting down the cash for one.

While I respect Cylon - he is obviously mistaken (hey it happens to all of us) and that Datejust is just the thing for you. Absolutely no vested interest in this answer

I like the seamaster personally

but a 1953 watch shouldn't look so good, should it?

That was my first thought for a 1953 watch...and price is a little high. I'm not a fan of redials, prefer the character that patina provides.

Here's a pic of my 1959 Omega Seamaster for comparison.

Looks like a skilful redial to me.

Agreed, however I like a black face just a tad more...

Been wanting a simple style watch that would be versatile.

Love that. Wish the face was in better shape but thats noice.

Thank you! Yeah, the face has aged quite a bit--looks better in person. It's a great watch--has a beautiful movement.

I disagree, looks great! A 1940's watch is suppose to have patina and yours is perfect!
