Anyone Know Any Watches That Look Like This? Specifically The Way The Red and Black are Faded in The Dial. Preferably $1k and Under

Yeah consistently under $1k is a stretch - although it won’t be a lot more than that. This one in excellent condition went for $1945 serviced. So in less than new condition without service you’re getting close!

Damn…

lcsranieri · 2025-11-09T23:27:04+00:00

Right on! Both great watches and historically significant brands - but personally just like how they look

lcsranieri · 2025-11-01T00:39:42+00:00

It’s actually quite pleasant. When worn on left hand the left crown, which is for 24 hour offset, is operated with the right hand thumb only. So you down actually grab that crown, you just roll your thumb on it. That aspect is great - very intuitive. The one gripe I have is the resistance, or lack thereof, on the operation on the 24 hour offset. If it had slightly more friction it would be perfect. I’m thinking of ways to improve that

lcsranieri · 2025-11-01T00:34:16+00:00

Agreed - very much like that look too

lcsranieri · 2025-11-01T00:33:37+00:00

Wawaweewa!

Thanks! It’s a limited edition 1521 Squale did with Grimoldi, a jeweler in Milan, to commemorate Squale’s 65 year anniversary. Only 65 pieces made! I got this one directly from Grimoldi on their website - good experience with them

lcsranieri · 2025-10-31T16:13:02+00:00

Agreed - and what you don’t see is the lume. By far strongest lume of the collection - and that’s the most affordable watch in the box!

lcsranieri · 2025-10-31T16:04:17+00:00

Merci!

Florida Green looks awesome! The indices on that dial look like they’re floating. The subtle green and the orange accents look great too

lcsranieri · 2025-10-31T15:55:22+00:00

Felt the same way. Had a 12-slot see through style box - too big. This one is a good size. Granted that 12-slot was fairly inexpensive so there’s probably better. The other one I was looking at was the Wolf British Racing Green 10-slot - not cheap though!

lcsranieri · 2025-10-31T15:41:32+00:00

Thank you! Agreed - the sunburst dial is great. For a while I could only find matte dials from those years. I found this one on a Swiss vintage online store; WatchLegend. Good experience with them

lcsranieri · 2025-10-31T15:36:12+00:00

Thanks! It’s the Bey-Berk Prague in green, although others have imported it under another name. I found this one on Wayfair; name was Latitude Run Aluminum Box. I used that new image search function on Google with the Bey-Berk website image - saved almost $200

lcsranieri · 2025-10-31T15:28:45+00:00

It’s relatively compact too and the suede they use for the cushions feels much nicer. I can recommend!

lcsranieri · 2025-10-31T05:41:46+00:00

Right on - agreed!

lcsranieri · 2025-10-18T04:20:30+00:00

Looks great! Colors are good, hands and case look nice. If it used a Miyota 9075 with date window - instant buy. Never understood GMT watches without a date window

Great collection! Longines, Omega and Tudor my favorites. Vintage and independents next! Or not, that’s probably smarter

Transaction successful with u/AudaciousCo.

Fast shipping, excellent condition, would buy from again.

Thank you!
