Nicely thought out response Mark. I like your Logic verses Emotion arguement, where I picture those two elements as the classic Angel & Devil sitting on your shoulders whispering advice to you. Clearly Emotion (The Devil in disguise) won part of the fight as you were manipulated into placing two 60's models in your three. ;-)

I am perhaps a little surprised you did not include a Valj.92 variant in your three. Infact the simple 2 register layout of the Valj.92 was not a big winner in our 3 watches awards. This seems odd as the clean look of this movements dial layout is clearly well received on this forum by the readers.
Just my observation.
