I've heard about issues with the calendar chronos, curious to hear is there is a recurring issue with the mariners. Is it just the memovox or the date version as well?
Quality issues would objectively be a problem. Your other issues seem subjective? Totally understand if you hate it but saying it's a "lame" color and then asking for objectivity seems a bit contradictory. I'm not super well versed in the history of the memovox line and or the Polaris line so sincerely asking why you think (objectively 😃) this doesn't feel like an authentic watch.
