I’d sort of agree…. If you were buying a new (or new-ish) watch then I’d always say go for what you like aesthetically more. But…. My guess is the sort of person who buys fifty year old watches is probably the sort of person who cares more about the historicity than just the look of the watch (otherwise you’d just buy a vintage-style new watch). in that case, slightly scuffed with papers is probably the more desirable. Depends what interested you about it in the first place - was it just that you like the old vibe look, or was it the history etc? -

The Winter Olympics should be boycotted in my opinion due to the mass murder of chinese citizens by their own government in concentration camps. So any watch that commemorates that event should not be "celebrated"... in my opinion. The Omega for the commonwealth games is fabulous ... but my problem with that model in general is that the pips are just to snug to the dial edge. They need to be a tad more central. -

O&W's current line up (which it says is 90% Swiss-made) is very tool-watch in look, which I like, with some rather nice pieces, although they've clearly moved away from the very Sinn-like design cues of your lovely Mirage @antjrice. Congratulations and enjoy in good health -
I know these are renders, but it looks a bit odd to me - like the centre of the dial was photographed in black and white and the minute track and bezel in colour. And I understand that the colours used are the same as those of the Games logo, but again it lacks cohesiveness IMHO. £500-ish more than the standard 41mm Hydroconquest. That's about 50% more. It does have 'Birmingham 2022' and 'Commonwealth Games' on the case back though That's bound to add value
