I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned the 1016 Explorer. A fabulous under the radar watch, oozing class.

Before the restoration, the dial still had the radium lume which was badly decayed. I had the dial professionally cleaned of the existing radium and relumed with Super Luminova. The original hands were rusted beyond repair and were replaced with new ones lumed with Super Luminova.

I was thinking about this today, and I realized that if I can only have one watch, it's going to be my G-Shock 5610.
