| Found a gently used old grail of mine for a ridiculous price. Was sold as a non-working watch because the subdials didn't line up. It took me 30 seconds to re-sinc them, good as new! Unbelievable watch, smoothest strap, looks sharp and feels great. Definitely a used watch, but still worth the good deal I found. Looks like they go for about $150-$180 new, I'd say that's about right with the quality. It is a classic design that could certainly use some upgrading, but goes with anything. Here's the quick and dirty shots from this afternoon out back. 42mm diameter w/o crown 100m water resistant sapphire crystal push-pull crown 120-click bezel 1/10 second/ 30-minute chronograph tachymeter scale Luminous hands and dots (fairly good, no lume shots yet...) Sweet insignia on the rubber strap I REALLY like it! The only con is a very flat case, so in the wrist shots it looks a little awkard on me. Doesn't look like that in real life. It passes the ultimate test for a quartz chrono - hits every marker for every hand. |

| I had the 3-had version of that EXACT watch about a year ago. I ALMOST kept it but decided not to, were it an automatic I would have kept it...
Great looking watch!
TOTALLY dig the strap, I too like when a logo is incorporated into one...
I also like the unique dial bezel color!
AWESOME watch dude, CONGRATS and enjoy! ____________________________________

| Congrats Andrew! I love it when people get new watches. I'm not into chronos anymore, but I really like the looks of the giant registers on that, and the dial color is excellent. I also like encapsulated lume dots. Cool watch! |

| Cool. It has all the things a good watch should have. I really like the bezel edge, bezel blue color, and the clear/clean look of the font used for subdial markers. | |
