| Terrific looking Torgoen Gary !  Love how Torgoen makes these unmistakeable aviation watches, but then don't follow along with the usual pilot's, or aviation watch style formulas. ..Now Gary, are those lugs on the watch? Or are they part of the strap? Pretty outstanding honestly. A ridiculously Cool watch !!! Bill, what a beautiful Seiko mod sir !  The stainless steel theme throughout makes such a neat effect. You actually end up picking out, and appreciating so much detail becaue of that. The bezel, and bracelet here are too good too. Bill, who built this one here? They did a great job ! ..It's really fantastic !!! What a version of the Wilde-Beast Darius !  You have that original Wilde-Beast feel with the spiderweb texture that is on the dial, but then the cool complications take the watch to new heights. Even the rubber strap is something special on it ! That's got to be a fun one to wear, right Darius? ..Awesome !!! ____________________________________  | |

Pretty outstanding honestly. A ridiculously Cool watch !!! They are 'lugs' but still require a factory strap to swap out....this watch came with a white strap with black metal inserts and I swapped in a black strap with silver inserts then changed out the inserts for the black ones. So now it's black on black on black. This looks so much better than the original set up. This shot shows the original set up: YUCK!  ____________________________________ Later, GaryRemember we are the caretakers of mechanical art.....

Man, that is something Gary !  What a unique set-up. The white strap matched up perfect with the dial, but this black on black combo does rock !  ..Thanks so much for the info, as well as pictures of everything sir ! ____________________________________ | |
