Hey Gang.

Been hunting this for over a year - missed out on initial SNBC offering.
Really wanted this ETA G15-261 Movement.
But didn't want it in the Invicta S1 all rubber thingy (sent back immediately, long ago).

Waited and waited and waited.
Finally showed up in Italy on eBay - copped it. Arrived today.
Swapped out original plain brown leather strap for this flieger-esque (originally from my Sotomarino Pilotare)

Costco reciept checker said "I like that watch"
Nothing like a compliment on a new watch the first day out.

Thanks for watching

Congrats Jeffrey! I owned the 3 hand Khaki green version at one time. Philip does a very nice job on their pieces. Unique layout and complication!

Jaw you may or may not know but I am not a HUGE chrono fan but...

THAT ONE IS REALLY NICE!

Really like the half-dial, fly back subdials!

Congrats on getting you you have been after!

Hey that's cool Chris.
This is my only Philip as well - wish I had one of those 48mm 7750 Admirales, but no such luck.

Yeah I know. But it's all about the execution for me.
Most chronos I can't read for lack of contrast.

The big lower half is a fly back too - fascinating to watch.
Never really understood why the retrogrades were made - just to go backwards - cause they can?

Thanks

the remarkably detailed dial, the crown, the movement..EVERYTHING
..is just perfect ! Philip Seatta Retrograde Icon_smile I'm glad you finally got one that you really wanted
sir. You DEFINITELY have a NICE one here. It's extremely classy, but
also has a good amount of toughness mixed in for good measure ! Great
