Gazzla 23 Posted July 24, 2015 Hey Gang A mate of mine has been pestering me to get him one of these for ages so I put Tim (Watchfinder) on the case. And he came up trumps! Usual quality service and comms from Tim and Dan. This is a quartz version with different sub dials, but comes on a surprisingly decent navy croc strap with deployant. Excellent blue dial that really bursts with the right light. Anyway, before I deliver the goods down the pub tonight, I thought I'd get a few snaps in. Without further ado: Gaz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

avc0002 73 Posted July 24, 2015 Got the same one in my case. It's just a fantastic watch. Keeps great time. Hehe. But it's also one of my most commented watches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gmchris 68 Posted July 24, 2015 I had one of these and was easily the most commented on watch. Ultimately I found it too thick so was wearing it less until I spotted a slightly different slimmer version , so I swapped. The thinner version has more accurate rounded subdial corners and thinner second hand but a curved instead of bevelled crystal, and no step in the case. Dial is exactly the same Sunburst finish. The case is closer to the original 70s version. Still nice though and I'd rather have a wearable hut inaccurate rep than one which I can't get comfortable with at all.

gmchris 68 Posted July 24, 2015 By the way loving the photoshoot! How do you listen the watch? Use torches from the sides? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RussP 22,340 Posted July 24, 2015 No collection is complete without one of them. I have two, but the blue n white combo Calibre 12 is my favourite. But, like some have said, a bulky watch and therefore unsuited to dressy occassions. Not quite as well photographed as by Gaz, but here's mine: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does it have the stepped case just below the crystal? That's the only bit that really bugged me on my rep Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RussP 22,340 Posted July 24, 2015 It is a gen, indeed. Well-spotted. I have a rep too (auto with the correctly placed sub-dials) on a custom strap by Checkarn (this forum) Here you go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
