I've always wanted a , and these are going for very attractive prices on the 'bay;

I prefer a over a by a wide margin, so this would seem to fill the bill.
And since I'm actually a fan of quartz watches, that's no drawback.
So what's the problem, you say? Well, 'tis the oversized hour markers at 2, 4, 8 and 10. Having those so much bigger in comparison to the others looks a little odd to me.
I dunno. Maybe it'd grow on me. I mean, it's not a kinda reaction, but it definitely looks a bit weird to me...

While I've been disappointed in person by watches that looked good in pics, I don't know that it's ever gone the other way. I.E. having been pleased by a watch that generated ambivalent feelings based on pics. Why? Duh! 'cause I've always 'played it safe' and passed, when in doubt!
So maybe it's time to take a chance. Perhaps I'll go for it.
It is a rather bold, eye-catching design. It pays homage to the classic look without being slavishly faithful to it. That appeals to me.. 's much the same tack I took with my own Mark XI homage, after all.
I dunno.. the more I look at it (and I've been looking at it all day!), there's a certain symmetry to the big markers that's kinda cool. Sorta gives me the same "WTF?!" impression as a California Dial (though I detest those as an abomination against nature ), yet it's far more understated...
Thanks, Adam! Indeed, thanks to all who took the time to respond!
