Hello!! Here's a special watch! From what I understood, it's a co-work between Mr Howard Marx(Westcoastime) and Mr Wajshand6.gif

Well, you certainly know Ollech&Wajs and them military-type watches at good price and good quality...? No?

The first Defender model was made in 25 exemplars also: With different hands...So this one been a bit upgraded;)

It's powered by a 7750 valjoux movement with upgrade and got sapphire glass(specialy made for this model apparently)

This watch came from the US west coast: Bought to Mr Marx! Great man I must say!

The watch was going a bit too fast so I sendt it in Zurich to Mr Wajs for regulation: Don't remember exactly but think it turns between +5 and 8 seconds a dayThumbsUp02.gif but it's variable with the climat up here: If I go out when it's -25 celsius in winter, it might not be the samesubtlelaugh.gif.

It got screw-pins so it will not reap-off the hand!hand6.gif

The only little minus is the bezel who's hard to turn(anyway, it's not a diver even it's garanteed to 10 atmos...): So I leave it in peace...But it's a kick-ass bezel: Super polished and nice screws on it!
