It's an interesting social observation on what someone considers unattractive and someone else loves. Case in point, the main attraction of the new annual calandermodel, for me, is it's "sector dial", which the watch a beautiful, and interesting vintage look.
Vintage Patek's with two tone sector dials (see auction results for ref: 130) command a huge premium.
But, I guess that's what makes this hobby interesting, ...one man's poison, is another's honey.
