Ha! We loose count on the number of Sinns you have committed @FunnyStarSystem Truth be told, I was contemplating the Breitling Top Time rep, showed a friend the pic, and was told his mate had something similar that he got tired of. So, long story short, Likes - everything, from the different case, polished and brushed surfaces, No SEL, size, detailed dials and subdials, red accents, its a chrono, and its a chrono that meets ISO6425 standards (diving, shock and anti-magnetic). Dislikes - poor AR, pity as its got a lovely dial. I think I can shave with it. And who puts a wimpy sailcloth strap with a skinny tang buckle on a dive watch? Anyways, I swapped it with a calf leather I know, its even more wimpy... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyways, I swapped it with a calf leather I know, its even more wimpy... It's a very nice piece, found a good review here, running an ETA 2892-2. Apparently this one came with a rubber strap so you could probably source one, or the reviewer suggests a NATO, which is pretty much the answer to everything in my watch box, eventually I was reading up on the ISS Cupola yesterday and saw a cool pic of it gliding over Brisbane at night and thought of you - cheers! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I traded my SBDX012 in for a SBGA029 thinking they would be too similar - that was a call I regret ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The new models with the ceramic bezels, aren't as nice as the old Polished Bezels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It has an evil twin brother, The Black Knight. : It still has its original and scarce Hub Cap Crystal placing it in high $$ demand for a collector.
