Opinion on this? I love the watch, but I think its a little too new looking for me. Show me some that look old. I have a vintage style Explorer I, Trying to make up my mind on this one. Thx Lin

I don't think that's a vintage watch... I guess is rather new...

ya no reason to scuff that up...looks like a homage to a 312 maybe which is modern?

its a homage to a modern PAM no need to rough it up... Unless you think its too purdy then by all means give it some "character."

Making a watch vintage is often confused by beating it up. It's supposed to look old not burnt and dragged throught a gravel yard.

Don't do that to your watch though, it's way too new.

359 homage right?

you should not vintage-ize it, you should sell it to me.

If you want it vintagized, just send it to me. I'll wear it daily for a week or two then send it back looking 25 years old.

That sounds like a good idea. We can call it the "pass-around" vintage.

You won't need to pass it around after 2 weeks with me. I can tear up a watch like no one you've ever seen -- while trying not to hurt it!!

Yeh 359 aka "the dirty dial" ha. Since it is suppose to be a remake of an old style, brown dial with dirty lume, I thought it would look cool a lil vintaged.
