$269 for SOLID TUNGSTEN????

Hmmm...must be new.
Recently got this tungsten chrono used - still hunting the yellow dial version for under 299.
Really like it - My only Swiss Legend.
So this is a very tempting alternative - depending on the dial color/execution.

Always wanted a tungsten, is it basically scratch proof?

Sorry, can be found here: http://www.chronoshark.com/default.aspx

Yep - but not crack proof (then again who is? )
Also much heavier.
Croton's Auto was my first

Anyway...

Looks like the malachite are going for around $500

Sorry too exotic for me

Hey this one is EXTRA impressive !!! Especially for the price !
The size is NICE, as is the movement, and of course that tungsten.
Have to say that dial is pretty special too. It's VERY eye-catching,
but also very classy !..Also liking that Swiss Legend of yours Jaw !
The dials are so cool on these, and that orange or red area from
12 to 3 is great !

. . . tungsten - - -

. . . stone dials - - -

. . . Swiss Legend - - -

. . . there, I said it. . .

As soon as Lior drops that Black dial model back to 189 again it is mine!! No exotic dials for me. I will settle for any color dial I guess as soon as they drop them back to that price I will take any of the regular dials.

Jaw,

Thanks for the pic. I just got a flier from World of Watches and that one is on sale and caught my eye. Your photo is SO much better than the stock photo - thanks.

Thanks - If you ever see Yellow let me know

The auto versions are coming out soon. If that had been the Black Sandstone or Lapis dial version, I would have picked that up. $269 for a solid tungsten, automatic diver is great. I don't care if it is a SL or not.
