Just leave it as it is!! I've a couple of dials that even look 'worse'. It's just telling you it's life. Also it won't help the value of it. Some dials weren't that good to begin with. Just like the '89 dials, nowadays almost all are restored. Another good example are Zenith chronometers 135.

Indeed a nice vintage watch. Reminds me about a vintage Longines pulsometer, but of-course there are manny with more or less the same look & feel.

Or,... how small is your wrist!? Here another model with the same dimensions: Width: 48.00 mm x Length: 62.70 mm x Height: 14.60mm

I think maybe it is best to first really discover what you want. As I see many models coming by and they are all pretty different. About the gen part, if you can spend it go for a gen! btw: I almost never like Breitling except the vintage models, but the Transocean and the superocean look great. Happy hunting! :-)

Shame on you! ;-) Junghans once was the biggest watch manufacturer of the world!

Very nice watch indeed, but I rather would go for the cleaner version. The chrono is designed by a employee of Junghans and also a bit thick. Even cheaper: Junghans Max Bill 14 by Bidle, on Flickr Also nice to change the strap, but I do prefer the black strap: Junghans Max Bill 02 by Bidle, on Flickr Junghans Max Bill 06 by Bidle, on Flickr Junghans Max Bill 12 by Bidle, on Flickr ps. And if you really like Max Bill, you can also consider: Omega Max Bill 01 by Bidle, on Flickr Omega Max Bill 03 by Bidle, on Flickr Or the Movado: Movado Max Bill 27 Bill Time by Bidle, on Flickr

From all my watches my Exp II with pinholes is my favorite: Rolex Explorer II 08 by Bidle, on Flickr The Patek Nautilus 5711/1A 010 is also among the favorite because of the unbelievable nice dial. Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/1A-010 14 by Bidle, on Flickr

Not exactly sure what you are looking for. Here two sites you might like. http://www.ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun-db.cgi?00&ranfft&&2uswk Or a site like this: https://watchotaku.atlassian.net/wiki/display/swr/ETA+2824

Buy a nice Rolex. It will keep it's value and you'll like it. Nothing like a Gen!! For a model I would go with a low-profile model like a explorer II. Happens to be my favorite. ;-)

That's not the point. I'm just stating the examples in the quote aren't that accurate. Therefore obviously you are right!

Nice, but not all gen pigs are exact the same!! Like on some the heads are flatter.

Here a photo from the back where you can see the difference between the anodized color.

Hmmm, sorry for the delay. Just forgot about it,... Here some iPhone photo's I took from a genuine 292 and a replica. As you can see they look pretty much the same, but the angle of the bezel is clearly different and also the anodized back. Unfortunately I don't know which type of rep this was. Here another nicer photo from the watch:

Just noticed your reply, will do it tomorrow!

Some time ago I made a few photo's of a Gen and rep next to each other. The angle of the bezel was different and the anodized case-back. I made them with my phone. If someone likes it I can look them up.

Nice topic. I do like a occasional cigar. Especially later on the evening, with some friends. I'm not really an expert and a friend always brings some brands.

Thx guys, Also thank you for the link! I looked at them, but nothing for me.
