I love my $750 Mido Commander Shade as much as any Greubel Forsey. The price makes no difference to the value and enjoyment I get out of many lovely watches.
...it has an old-school quality that I admire, and it looks super comfortable. But is it difficult to size? For instance, I've seen used watches that I might purchase, but how do you know if it will fit?
Price is irrelevant. The commander shade is one beautiful retro watch. 37 mm is perfect too. One thing need to be improved though, the very small crown is difficult to wind. Unless the watch to be worn daily or kept on a winder, winding process is painful...
So typical on this website. My collection is not quite so august as yours, but I wholeheartedly agree. It makes me laugh when I wear a Vostok instead of a Blancpain or Breguet or whatever. Thank you, Charlie
