| Saw this on the Shop - Then bought it cheaper from NextDayWatches. Always liked it for the architectural asymmetry on the case and pushers. Also appreciated their particular attention finger ergonomics of the pusher design/usage. - Thumb rests on rubber at 9:00 side - Index for Chrono Start Plunger - Bent inside middle finger for Chrono Reset Paddle Finely bead blasted SS case Fully integrated (sandwiched) Rubber Strap Geezers forget about legibility without having your bulbs on (didn't buy it for that) Would have bought a black dial if they made one that way. Strap: Rubber (strong vanilla smell) Movement: Swiss Rhonda 5021 Quartz Crystal: Sapphire Crown: Screw down w/ function pushers Clasp: Buckle Strap Measurements: 9-1/2" L x 32mm W Case Measurements: 45mm L x 45mm W (15mm thick) Water Resistance: 10 ATM - 100 meters - 330 feet Thanks for watching -- jaw

| Congratulations on getting the Sport Racer Jaw ! That case, and pusher design is just the best. It's extra nice because it doesn't really look like another watch out there. VERY unique ! Plus it doesn't hurt that the ergonomics of the watch are good too. Zodiac made sure to pay attention to the details with this one. The bead blasted case, carbon fiber dial, terrific case back, and super strap are all part of a very well done package. Nice job picking this watch out sir ! Fantastic pictures also ! ENJOY !!! ____________________________________ | |

| I had that one and REALLY liked it!
Very Panerai-ish without being a blatant knock off!
Looks great man!
Enjoy! ____________________________________ | |

Enjoy! Yeah I thought you might have had it. Yes the Panny DNA was also a factor in my decision to buy. | |
