This guy arrived from Australia today (an eBay score). Kind of different, but tries to do a bit too much, dial-wise, I think. Automatic; 38 X 57 mm; nice curved case; crown at the top; leather strap, that shows some work as it has to accommodate the crown access and also match at the bottom of the case...no gaps at the ends. The left top pusher pops up an access hatch for the crown; right pusher sets day-of-week.Plum-colored face, with four subdials for day of week, 24 hr dial; month and year. Month and year set with hidden pushers. Frankly, the four subdials are too many...would have been better-looking if the year subdial (good thru 2014) had been omitted. Exhibition back. Skeleton hands are also a nice touch. Date window at eight o'clock. Not perfect, but for $50, what the heck.
