I got this watch from Howard Marx at Westcoastime. It is 44mm without the crown. Superluminova on the hands and dial. It is very comfortable on, just like my Trias Cushion Case models. The crystal is very flat and as a result, there is practically no glare. It has an exhibition back showing off a dimpled Unitas 6497 movement. No blue screws or anything. Mine has a noticeable gouge right where the regulator is. I'm a bit disappointed in that. :( I put a Hadley Roma CF strap on it for now. Attachment: ow4.jpg (Downloaded 134 times) |

I emailed a picture the movement to Howard Marx. He told me to send it back for an exchange. He was very nice about it. So, it is going back. KenC wrote: Beautiful..............but gouge?.........SEND IT BACK! |

The lumn on the O&W is fair. It glows very bright to start, but dosen't have much staying power. Actually, my Trias Unitas models glow brighter, longer. And, Trias is not great in the lumn area. For some reason, their Unitas models have good lumn. The O&W uses Superluminova on the hands and dials on this model. But, it fades faster than I'd like. The Auguste Reymond Unitas is the best. It glows bright quite long. Attachment: Ollech&Wajs6497Yellow2L.jpg (Downloaded 90 times) |

I do not know anything about the brand or sight. Looks like a nice package and good info. Mike you usually collect from what I have seen more tailored dials, that is more sport retro from the pics. Glad you are getting the error worked out. Have fun with it.:D |

Great looking watch! :cool: I've always toyed with the idea of getting the yellow dial. Hope you get one with a clean movement ASAP. Dan:) |

I did not mean to imply that Howard would not promptly and willingly handle the problem......I have dealt with him in the past, and he is a "standup" dealer! Sorry if I created the wrong impression! O.A. Gaspar wrote: mcwright wrote: |
