 I saw the post at the airport lounge this morning and was intrigued by the profile. In the plane, I kept thinking about it. When I landed in Singapore, I hunted it down and of the 4 ADs I went to, none have heard of it nor seen it yet. I'm on the waiting list, obviously.

The watch seems to me like a 42mm and 45mm with crown. The watches88 site erred. It said "Made in Japan" but the model's serial number denotes it is NOT made in Japan. All 7S36 lines with that serial number are made outside Japan nowadays.

Like Graham, I like the retro look and the hands plus the red crown ring accent is similar to the Frankenmonster series. In Asia I can shoot this down for about half the CONUS price. Too bad guysmini me.gifmini me.gifmini me.gif.

If I can get this, I'll fit it with a rubber waffle. The lug width of this is a 22mm. The side-by-side picture with the BM proves it is 22mm because the BM is a lug width of 20mm.

I'll be flying out of Singapore tomorrow to another Asian country so I can still hunt this down. anodie.gif
