This watch is only interesting because I won it! I do surveys for Fossil Groups' "Fashion Influencer's Lab" and they give away watches every month. Won about a month ago, just got yesterday.

O.K. now that is just crazy cool Gary, I didn't know you did that ! Or had won this looker ! This is fascinating to hear about sir, and I bet it has to be a fascinating job too. I mean not only do you get to see some amazing watches, but then actually get to see what people think of them. It has to be so much fun, but then the fact that you won a watch too?! ..Well you know what that is right Gary?! It's the icing on the cake. And speaking of that icing, it looks quite fantastic from here if I'm being completely honest. Leave it up to Fossil to make the ordinary become extraordinary. Because this pepsi diver stands out in the pepsi crowd sir ! ..Check out the beutiful brushing within the bezel as well as lugs, and bracelet ! ..It's astonishing, but so is the silky dial with it's gorgeous finish, terrific hands, and excellent markers.
Honestly, it's the whole package, and more G, AND you won it ! A FANTASTIC Fossil congrats here to you o this, as well as all of that !!! ..Yowza, enjoy sir !
Keeping the Vostok train going here...

Hi Darius, my apologies for not getting a chance to see this stunner yesterday. Yowza, this is one terrific Triumph, and I swear it looks different than the Triumph I remember. Is it new? It’s amazing !!!

Very good eye Tom, this one is brand new. A local jeweler destroyed my display, over a year ago, on my beloved orange one. Lol
Parts are no longer available on it anymore so I just been searching for a triumph to get posted on eBay. This is the first and while I thought I was purchasing it for parts when it came in there was no way. I think this is stunning. Lol
But I did hit the jackpot, my orange one will be fixed next week and a bunch of surprises will be popping up from time to time from the 3021 arena.

Oh man, I am both happy that this is a new arrival, and sad that your orange one got broken like that. But now am feeling ecstatic that the old one will be returning, AND that this new marvel will be joining it in the Triumph family. Man oh man, you are right on, it really is stunning, not to mention gorgeous, and a watch we don't really see much out there. Seriously, the dials alone on these are sensational imho, because they have that ultra cool 60's/70's racing personality with the straps, and just feel. However, really change gears into modern mode with the awesome ana-digi set-up. It's the best of both worlds, and is the kind of watch that becomes timeless as a result.
Details like the tachymeter bezel, as well as curvy case only up the excitement too. With the beads of rice-like bracelet being the perfect touch to finish off this stunner.
Yowzers, I'm just so happy that you were able to find this treasure of a Triumph, and that the old treasure will be back soon to join it again !! ..Wishing you a TREMENDOUS Triumph congrats there D !!!
P.S. I'm looking forward to those surprises comig up too Darius.
