This Might Be a Dumb Question, But…

OK, I own a Sinn watch with their Tegiment technology (a SS treatment that makes it virtually impossible to scratch) and have owned various Seikos with their DLC coating which does the same thing with a different technology. These technologies defini…

Forgive me if this has already been asked.
I've searched and couldn't find this exact question.

Change 1, or Several Things on a Brand to Make it Better

Keep in mind, this is just my opinion.

Rolex; lose the cyclops lens; better yet, lose the date altogether; and while we're at it, lose 95% of the words on the dial
Tudor; lose the snowflake hour hand

I've had my Ingenieur for about 1.5 months.
When it was new, it ran about +4 spd.
Now, it's running about -4 spd.
Should I be concerned?

Tropical Dial; I Love This Term

Pre-owned watch sellers love this term too.
It gives a vintage watch a certain "descriptive charm".
In reality, a tropical Dial is a "Moisture Damaged Dial"!
Are there any other watch description terms that you just love?
