| 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 -- jaw Specs:Strap: Genuine leather Movement: Swiss-made Quartz Chrono Retrograde ETA G15.261 Crystal: Mineral Crown: Screw down w/function pushers Clasp: Buckle Strap Measurements: 9-3/8"L x 22mm W Case Measurements: 46mm Water Resistance: 10 ATM – 100 meters – 330 feet     | |

| 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! | |

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. | |

Congrats on getting you you have been after! 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 | |

| Oh man, THIS is some kind of watch Jaw !  The shape of the case, the remarkably detailed dial, the crown, the movement..EVERYTHING ..is just perfect !  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 job finding this one, and congrats to you !..ENJOY !!! ____________________________________  | |
