In my heart, it hasn't gone yet....
...and yes, I wish I could find a less expensive way of discovering if i truly love a watch!! Pictures? Really hard to tell from a picture. I got truly excited about the vintage Heuer.....saw so many pictures. yet, when i tried it on I knew immediately it was not for me. Often it can take a year of playing with a watch to determine if i truly love it...PAM 36 is such a case in point. I loved the pictures...loved it when it went on my wrist...and then it spent 6 months in the wilderness....now firmly back in with the keep forever watches. I do wish I could find a cheaper way of figuring this out.
Yes, I have a nice PN and the two watches are (sort of) related in an interbred cousin sort of way. But I am not sure I see the MC as cool. I definitely feel that about the PN...but with the MC it is something different. It is its quirkiness and almost awkwardness combined with its sportiness that is the lure. In my heart, I cannot tell at all what will happen to this one....really cannot tell. I am very curious to see what other current and previous owners think....my guess is that there is a lot of "former" owners....guys who have been attracted to it, but then let it go. That won't make my decision for me, but it would be curious to know.
There is something about the watch..... but is it love???
7031 Homeplate? A watch for The Clash
I go through a similar process with most of my watches. I find myself falling in love and buying. Then for a long period I wear nothing but the new love. Then after this brief flirt with the watch, I will not wear it for a very long time. Then i start to ...
Even if you're a friend, I cannot be at your place.
So, I would just tell you what I would do. I am hunting one of those MCs, and to be sure, I have a more affordable way than yours. I take pics, and see them maybe 10 times a day. If at the end of one month, I am still super excited with it, I hunt it. Bac...

I hear you, clear and loud.
I find you brillianbtly speak about it... At a point that I also think you still love it. You know it very well. Would it be different if you had the SS bezel? Best, Nicolas.
Never a good sign to have doubts
But then look on the bright side if your doubts are unfounded a new love and respect can come from the questioning. Look a the quirky smile on her face....
Ooooh, no, if Bill comes with his MC!
That is a conspiracy! Aaah, by the way, I will have to post these pics of your MC, Bill. Best, Nicolas ( The Hence, the Rooster and the Donkey )
Bill...
...that is exactly correct....if a watch passes this second test, a new much greater respect develops....and then one ends up with a watch that is really loved...... that is exactly correct. I just havent found a good way of getting to that point cheaply!...
I have mine on the wrist right now....
...it's really a great watch & it's a special feeling to have this kind of connection with friends at the other end of the world !...
