Just a bad try to

Which One
I have a couple of Ryans; one with a refinished dial, the other with an original dial (or so I've been led to believe). As the images show, the refinished dial is silver whereas the original has a golden hue. Is this attributable to ageing/patina or is it correct for this model? Or is the refinished silver version correct? (It's not a trick of the light, the images are a good representation of the real colours).Refinished'Original'Vendor images, my watchesThanks, stales

Dress watch under $600.00
Here are some ideas as to what I'd like in a dress watch, as I'm selling my Hamilton Jazzmaster Tonneau - it's a little big for me for a dress watch.So, if it sells for what I believe is a reasonable price, I can add the funds from 3 recent sales for a budget of $600. I'm trying to reduce the number of watches I have so that they all get worn by selling recently purchased watches that are similar in style to others I have. I'd rather sell the almost new ones because if I sell something I want the buyer to get more than they bargained for rather than less. If the Hamilton doesn't sell, my budget will be just a little over $200, or I'll have to wait a while and save - and while I'm extremely patient with people, not so much when it comes to saving for something...Here is an idea of my taste in dress watches:AutomaticSapphire crystalI prefer no date, but I think that'll be hard to find38mm or less case diameter without crowneither textured white dial with deep blue hands and indices, b

Unscientific accuracy and power reserve test on my Tissot PRC 200
I wanted to see if the Powermatic 80 movement in my new Tissot PRC 200 lived up to claims of power reserve and accuracy. Basically, I wound it 50 times and let it sit face up, except to hold it up to take pictures against the clock on my Mac ( I picked the watch up straight, so the rotor didn't move, or if it did, it only added seconds).I started the test at 10:55 pm on the 12th and it stopped today, June 16th at 8:26 am. If my math is right, that is 81 and a half hours.IMG_8885.jpgLast night, at 10 pm, it had gained 7 seconds. I check it again, before work at 6 am, it is was still 7 seconds fast. Roughly, that comes out to +2.33 seconds a day.IMG_8879.jpgI'm very happy with both results. The power reserve is pretty impressive for a sub $700 watch. While I realize that accuracy can be affected by different positions and movement, none of my other watches in this test even came close.

Shows us your vintage Patek Philippe pieces
We see plenty of the modern day piecesBut there must be (hopefully) many members who also have vintage models.Please show them offI am considering getting such a piece, especially a simple Calatrava and would love to see how the smaller diameter timepieces of bygone days look.
