Other than novelty value I just don't get LED's. It seems less than convenient to press a button to read the time, not to mention battery drain.
We are all different, what appeals to one doesn't always appeal to the other, there are lots of collectors of LED's so they are appreciate if not by all at least by some.
I don't believe the vintage watch as a time piece is the main reason why they are desirable, they are more of a window to memories of a past time, after all who needs a watch nowadays when we all carry mobile phones, iPhones, PDA's etc.
Nice catch with the Puma, looks a good solid watch and it has to snip at the price.
