Mine is a little rough around the edges, but it's a birth month/year watch so I like how it reflects its owner's parallel descent into craggy decrepitude!

I like the bezel insert on that one, nice wabi.

Figured I would add this one to the thread. Traded a JDM SKX to a good friend for this one. It was a full disclosure deal we were both happy.

I’ve owned 5-6 over the years, but I’m down to one. I fell in luck very the first time I put one on. One of the best watches ever made at any price.

I got this in a trade with a good friend plus cash. It seems original from my research but the issue is that it's running super fast. It has gained almost 5 minutes in two days. Is it worth the service?

I agree with you and leffemonster. I think the dial is aftermarket but I'm not sure. There is so much to consider when looking at these beauties. I had a nice Loy's example some years ago and it was beautiful. I sold it off a couple years ago and really regret it.
Now to find someone that will service it. I wonder if it just may be magnetized. A friend mentioned it but I have no idea how to de-magnetize an automatic watch.

I hope it comes with good instructions 😁.
