| Just picked up this Harding Jetstream HJ0104 at Amazon for $109.....Most places sell it for about double that. The black version of this one is on Amazon for $109 right now as I write this. It's a little big at 46.5 mm, but as soon as I strapped it on the 'biggness' went away. I think the complicated dial helps with this perception. This watch has a quality strap that has that new leather 'crunch' when it moves, but the feel of a nice broken in strap. For the price, a nicely engraved caseback and a signed crown and buckle, set the watch off nicely. Was not expecting too much for $100 watch (retail is $700 so they must use Invicta's sales model!) but am pleasantly surprised at how nice this is. http://www.hardingwatches.com/ Specs: Case Material Brushed Steel Case Diameter 46.5 mm. Case Thickness 13 mm. Band Material, Allergen Free Genuine Leather, Black Buckle Pin, Steel Movement Quartz, Miyota VDxx Chronograph Yes Crystal Anti-reflective Crystal Dial Color White/Black Arabic(White) Water Resistance 100 mt. / 330 ft.

| Yeah wow Gary !!! You can really see how nice these are ! I can't believe have never heard of the brand before until now. They make all kinds of cool watches it looks like from the website. Yowzers ! There's no doubt though that you got one, if not the best model honestly. You would swear at first glance that the watch was vintage. That dial alone has that unforgettable classic feel with the hands especially, but also the markers, and contrast of the black on the white. Even the way it fits in with the case is flawless ! Can see how the dial absorbs the size of the case to like you said, and just how nice the build is. Doesn't seem to matter what part of the watch you go to either. You're going to be impressed ! What's neat is how you get that classic style, that actually looks vintage with everything from the hands, to the crowns, and pushers, but then just the right amount of modern day cool like with the size, and beautiful case-back. ..Yup, you should be happy with the Gary. Great great find ! Thanks so much for the intro to them, and all of the info too. ..and a HUGE congratulations on the watch !!! Really is neat ! ..Hope you wear it often, and ENJOY sir ! ____________________________________ | |
