| I finally got around to taking new pictures of a couple new watches. First up is the Magrette Regatarre Moana Pacific. I jumped pretty quickly at it when it came up for sale at another forum. Seller sent a total of 4 straps for it. I decided on the tan one for now. Stats for watch.
- Movement: 21 jewels (Miyota) Automatic
- Polished Stainless Steel Case
- Diameter: 44mm excluding the crown,
- Crown: Screw down
- Crystal: Sapphire
- Water-resistance: 3 ATM (approx 100ft)
- Strap: 24mm Leather (black)
- Buckle: Polished stainless steel
- Limited Edition: 500 pieces
The second watch is Gruen Swiss automatic. These were originally available at Walmart a few years ago. I'm guessing they ordered a large amount and they cleared them out. I missed out on the original opportunity. One recently was for sale at WUS and I jumped on it. It turns out it was smaller than I thought but still a real nice watch for the money. ETA 2824 movement. =D> I think one of the previous owner(s) removed the gold tone logo deployant but that is no big deal. Stats
- Swiss automatic movement 2824.
- Two tone stainless steel case.
- 100 feet water resistant.
- Genuine leather band.
- Case is approximately 36mm x 33mm not including crown.
- Blue Guilloche style dial.
- Blue cabochon crown.

| Nice, REAL nice !!! I like the style of the Magrette, it's very classy. A smooth dial, with a classic feel to it. Even the case is nicely done, as is that strap ! ..The Gruen is just EXCELLENT ! It has such a stunning dial, along with movement too. That two tone case along with outstanding looking strap finishes it off perfectly imho !..Congrats and Enjoy sir !!! ____________________________________ | |
