My father has a Seiko, either late 60s or early 70s vintage, automatic of course. It had this wonderful faceted crystal and it looked stunning. Over the years it of course got some scratches and unbeknownst to me my father had the crystal replaced in the 90s and they couldn't get the same crystal (no surprise). What a shame, same happened when he replaced the band. I wish that I could have posted a picture when it was in it's stock condition, it was a beautiful, chunky masculine watch that I loved. He still wears it as it runs fine even now, but it just doesn't look the same. I am tempted to put money into it and see if Seiko can help me find images of the crystal from their archives and then find out about getting a custom cut crystal for it.

Blurry shot, unsteady hand. This is my current watch. I like the chunky look for sure. Gucci styling tends to be quite nice.

New strap for an old watch;

Always had a soft spot for Breguet, and that's a beauty.
Though for me... the Transatlantique is my near-ideal...

The Trans is wonderful! For me, however, the Aeronavale preference with the lack of date (though I prefer the brushing on the 3820). My biggest watch collecting regret is that that I passed up the opportunity on a 3800 for a mere $3000 CAD a few years back. It had had a hard life and was heavily polished, particularly the case back of all places, but it was well, well worth the asking.
