I reckon we are on the same page, Neil - give or take. I've been wearing a few of my "better" watches recently, and I'm pretty sure I have everything I need, and a few I could live without.

If I owned a moonphase watch I’d definitely have a winder for it. When I was working I had all twelve of my auto watches on winders, and for me it worked out well, as I changed watches almost daily.

Thanks guys. I didn't realise the current PO and SM300 had ceramic dials. I suppose it's an obvious progression really. @Neil, as for he BP Bathyscaphe, that's a watch I've always admired and actually tried a couple of times back when I was up for that sort of outlay. I never realised it was a ceram...

Every time I wear my Planet Ocean Liquidmetal I am struck by 3 things: 1. It's a heavy old beast. 2. The lume is incredible. 3. The dial clarity is (in my experience) unsurpassed.
