Longines DolceVita Mini

Vintage Seamaster 550 getting overhauled! (new pictures)
Dial is back from International Dial and installed. I think the printing looks slightly better than the original, but more importantly, the dial is not BLISTERED! ;) I white balanced all of the pics that my watchmaker sent me, so enjoy. When I get it back and put it on a strap, i'll take some more pics!BEFORE:(Most picture taken from the side so you can see the blistering on the dial)AFTER:(Taken by the watchmaker before sending it back to me)And some resized and white balanced shots of the movement that I already posted:Still the same, incorrect crown. He had one that another customer had bought, but it was $50 and crowns can be had around the $30 point online. We're going to change the crown at some point, though. What do you think?-James

15400 vs SubC Date Size?
Question to those who own both.....how does the 15400 compare in actual 'wearable' size to the ceramic Submariner date? I know the SubC is 40mm, and the 15400 is 41mm, but I would think the Sub wears/looks larger due to the bezel and extended lugs? Any help would be great (and pictures even better)!

Another 5146G cream or slate dial thread...
Hi everyone,I¡¯ve pretty much decided on getting a 5146G sometime next year and am currently stuck between the cream and slate grey dials. I really like both equally but feel that the slate may not be as legible as the cream. Also, I am taking into consideration that I am more of a casual dresser (no suits or dress cuffs for me) so I would prefer the dial that can be dressed down easier. Lastly, I¡¯m also considering the make-up of dial colors in my collection at the moment. I have two black dial sports watches, a blue Nautilus, and a white/opaline Calatrava. Any thoughts would be much appreciated...thanks and season¡¯s greetings to all!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
