Collector Description
Do you care if a watch is legible?
When might lack of readability be a good thing? I bought the Speedmaster because the Alaska project was a study in readability of an already very readable watch.
Meanwhile there is nothing readable about the silver Royal Oak Chrono
But… if it came down to the Speedy or the Royal Oak. Im keeping that Oak
