The green dial in the steel watch could have been timeless without the sunburst dial - just keep it matte for the really good stuff.
They did this with the milgauss as well - it was perfect with the matte black dial - then they go sunburst blue and all of a sudden I’m looking at a tissot prx.
They made the new(ish) polar explorer ii timeless and got rid of the shiny black circles around the indices and went matte - beautiful.
I think I’ll wear my prx tonight
