| ...$4,600...?  Inspired by the infamous F6F Hellcat of WWII, a U.S. Naval fighter plane that proved to be the most successful in aircraft history. A leader of the skies, the Hellcat successfully brought down 5,271 enemy fighters in the second half of WWII. It was nicknamed the "Wildcat's Big Brother", and of course Montana has more than its share of wildcats, namely the revered student athletes, the Montana State Hellcats hockey team.

| Very nice! Can't beat a nice clean three-hand. I guess $4,600 is all relative, I fell in love with a $42K watch this weekend. | |

| Whoever photographed it F'd up by using the 10:09 hands positioning and obscuring the maker's name. | |

| That really is a GREAT looking watch ! I like how it has a kind of vintage feel, or style to it, but at the same time looks modern too. ..That case looks NICE, and the raised section on the sides is really neat also. It even acts like a crown protector.  What an attractive dial on this one also with the way the hands, inner ring, numbers, and markers are. ..It's really nice when a watch can have that balance between both classic and modern like this. Not sure about the price, but hopefully that is the retail like Steve said Alan. Still a great watch, and find here. Thank you ! ____________________________________  | |

| Good looking watch. That is the BOSEMAN WATCH CO. A boutique brand that is overpriced IMO. | |

| The date should be at 6, with a round window. IMO, it would look better in the design. Seems expensive, but what do I know
