QUOTE(ck77 @ Nov 22 2012, 08:23 AM) 2 lines non COSC cleaner, and more original. Mine is X serial 1991/1992 production, might be funding for a SD. 21k brand new? Good price. COSC is just marketing gimmick. I see, the dssd look ridiculously big on my wrist. so I hear that you sent your watch in for regular service?

QUOTE(deriku @ Nov 22 2012, 12:00 PM) If one were to exercise objectivity when buying a timepiece, most of the luxury brands can close shop already. It's all about wants and desires.“If you don't get what you want, you suffer; if you get what you don't want, you suffer; even when you get exactly what you want, you still suffer because you can't hold on to it forever.” ― Dan Millman, Way of the Peaceful Warrior: A Book That Changes Lives ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ QUOTE(sniper on the roof @ Nov 22 2012, 02:45 PM) Well since watches can hardly be judged on function and good value alone, "aura of desirability" is as good a reason as any. You can always say that the Tudor Pelagos has a certain je ne sais quoi that you find appealing.

^So how does one avoid suffering, pray tell? By having no wants at all?

But these treads have just the opposite effect  Ok enough about the philosophical digression, let's continue with watches.

I have the same 5600 stealth, bought as part of a pair (Baby-G for ladies version). Legibility is pretty good, in the dark you can always use the backlight
