I scored a buy from an WUS member on a near- mint Defaubre Triton. The watch is a beauty. It's 44.7 mm wide, 50mm counting the crown. The lug length from north to south is a whopping 55.5mm but they gently slope down and seem to fit with-in the width of my wrist perfectly. It has a sapphire crystal an an ETA 2824-2 engine. 3 Straps were included....I chose the leather with orange contrast stitching that matches the accent colors on the dial. The SS bracelet is well built and there is a rubber strap as well. I love the dial and find the numbers 03 and 09 are unique to any watch that I have. I thought the price was right and after pulling the trigger I was appreciative to have spoken with Trevor to get his opinion. He gave me a thumb's up! Thanks Trevor. Here are the pics and thanks for looking!

Congrats John, shes a beauty. Looks great on the leather, as I bet it would on the bracelet as well. I don't recall ever seeing a coin-edge caseback before. I like the hands on that version too. Very cool, enjoy.

Thanks Guys! Hey Mark, Good sighting regarding the coin edged bezel. I forgot to mention that I also have never seen one before and it adds another unique feature to the watch.

Good score John. I have 2 with the 2824-2 and I like them alot. Enjoy and how about some pics of it on the bracelet!? I am partial to bracelets but I bet it is smoking on a bracelet.

I'll have to do that Dale. The bracelet is nice.

Thanks again everyone. I really like this one and it is not real heavy........especially with the leather strap. I do like the rubber as well and I do like the SS bracelet but, I have so many on a bracelet and on rubber that I am really liking the leather look. I'll still try to remember to get some pics on the SS.
