For me, it’s one of the watches that looks (or reads) way better in pictures than in real life

Didn't get the impression they were hard to source.

I am the lucky recipient with Brian’s silver snoopy. It is indeed a truly phenomenal piece and yes, it is somewhat difficult to read in low light. Thanks again Brian for the transaction.

That’s very true. The 321 is the most legible watch I own. The difference was night and day between the two. Something I did not anticipate.

I’m so happy that we could meet and that the watch went to someone like you, who really appreciates the reference

You have a fantastic collection my friend, and this one is like icing on the cake

If it was not right then it was not right. Good move.

I hear ya man. Legibility is important for many folks like you and me. Others couldn't care less about it. But I'm with you, if I can't read the time I'm not keeping it. Sold my Moonphase, a watch I really loved, because I couldn't read the date or chrono minute counter.

Reading your feedback makes me believe I made the right decision in going for the white Moonwatch over the Snoopy. I was kind of torn between the two. Legibility is perfect in the white dial even with my aging eyes.

Now, if we could just find you a mint mk1 Sea Dweller somewhere...
