Hey Rich,

yes i think that's the point. You shouldn't have that much stress with it, because the dial itself is the special something here. And that's in good shape. I just thought it is worth to mention. But nevertheless if I'd buy this watch, I would invest another xxx$ for a new or slightly used handset and bezelinsert. With these
little enhencements it could be the perfect watch for me...

Cheers,
Manuel
