Which Moonwatch?
Hey guys. Will flip my Speedy automatic (date) for a Moonwatch. My AD has been kind enough to set aside a sapphire sandwich and a 50th Anniversary Patch Model for me. I like the sapphire sandwich as its dial retains the simple, classic and timeless look of the Moonwatch. However, I also like the 50th Anniversary Patch Model. I know the Patch Model belongs to a limited series but am worried I will grow tired of the dial in time. Which one do you guys recommend I get? I need to decide soon lest my AD lets go of either or both models. Would greatly appreciate your opinions to help me make a decision.Thanks in advance!

Man plans, God laughs
My AD called me to say he had something special for me...Now not going to lie; it wouldn't be the first Nautilus to come to my mind, but definitely grew on me. And love it! Plus I got a nice discount as well NEVER in my life would I think I'd ever purchase a two toned watch!!

Something old... Something borrowed
Wish I could marry these.A visit to Beyer in Zurich. Some amazing pieces restored to mint, with guarantee, most from their first owners who bought them from/through Beyer. A lot of their vintage stuff never gets featured on their website or put on display so it was a privilege that they brought all these wonderful pieces out.
