I don't know--something about that black dial (100502) kind of spoke to me--or maybe it was the box?
Either way, I bought it ;- )

Hmm...might turn out to be one of those cult classics like the Willard or 62MAS and ten years from now you can sell 'em for four or five a grand a piece?! Buy 'em all--you'll be rich!!!

What are you talking about with this reply. You go off on tangents and put words in people's mouths that make no sense. You open with a personal slight about someone's age, when none was made toward you.
No one made any claims to or even mentioned "authenticity". Hearkening back to something does not imply authenticity in this world or any other, it simply means that it reminds someone of something older. There are also cheaper automatic movements that hack. I'm curious where price plays into this? This isn't even Miyota's most stripped down movement. One could by all means make the movement hack without issue. A good reliable movement doesn't HAVE to be expensive. Lots of quartz movements are cheap and reliable, that was the point of them. To purchase this particular movement to replace it, is around 40 USD, which isn't a lot, but it is nearly half the price of the watch. I also never made claims to any kind of justification to put anything anywhere. I cannot make any justification for why someone made the choice to go with this Miyota movements. I can just say, with certainty, that Miyota(Citizen) movements are generally reliable and good. Given Ingresoll, the history and style of watch it makes sense to put a less expensive 70's movement in it.
The watch is vintage styled, it's the same simple case style that the old Ingersoll used in their 60s and 70s watches. That's what makes it vintage styled (not in and of itself vintage). No claim was made that the watch was itself vintage. There are lots of new watches that use a vintage style, this doesn't make them vintage, no one claimed it was.
"Theres is NO connection between the Ingersoll you refer to (the dollar watch maker) and the Ingersoll represented above"
Yes there is, when you buy a company you also tend to buy their designs and trademarks. That's not implying that Ingersoll had amazing designs to begin with, which was the entire point of bringing it up. It was company that was never founded with the highest of expectations, it was a company that was founded with the ideal to put a watch in everyone's pocket.
This watch is extremely accessible, which I would argue is the entire point of an Ingersoll. If you don't agree with that connection that's fine, but it certainly is reminder for me where Ingersoll came from. Making the assertion that it's great for people who don't understand watches also doesn't make sense given Ingersoll's history.
You also say "the watch is modern enough" but then say you got rid of it because it doesn't hack and wind, which are more modern automatic movement features. It's "modern enough" but not modern enough for you to hang on to, which again, is fine, all of this is preference anyway, I'm certainly not going to pass judgement on anyone's preferences, and that's not my point. It just adds to the confusing and meandering post that is book-ended by personal attacks and doesn't really talk at all about watches or their history.

I could easily justify this purchase as a good "beater", if I didn't already have a dozen beaters.

Most women’s rolexes fall into that category. Men’s are 40-45 now. Some of the older style men’s were 36-38.

I wonder why not offer mix and match with dial colors and straps/bracelet. Then again, while I want to try a mesh bracelet, and this drop is tempting enough, it appears the mesh was an afterthought.

No doubt mounting the ends in a pair of solid endlinks is another option. Not sure why it's not done more often.

RayFI'm guessing it's the ol' "if it's not broken.." mindset. Not enough nitpickers like me to change trends.

Thedonn007It's on the dressy side, so if you don't take reasonable care with the crystal then the case and strap will also get scuffed up.

The 100503 gold on silver dial is just a nice dress watch at a good price, and the strap doesn't look too bad in the picture; to change the strap to a really good alligator or croc strap would almost cost the price of the watch, I have watches with great lume and sapphire crystal and 200 metres water resistance etc. so I don't see these omissions as a negative; which is why this represents a good deal. very very tempted!

I thought so: in the photos it looks as good as the straps on any of my $500(aud) watches; making it hard to ignore: I do like value for money next to reasonable quality. How does the Newhaven model you previously purchased perform??
