I think it is a very unique (i.e. cool) looking watch, to me it looks like a wheel which is very appropriate for a watch titled "Driver".  I would be very jazzed about this timepiece if the colors were much more vibrant rather than pastel.  But, all that matters is that Tony likes it!  hand6.gifhand6.gif

Kinda interesting.  What's that I see?  Some actual decoration on the movement in a watch with a display back?  How novel!  :P

Not much risk in trying one, what with the low price and SNBC's liberal return policy.

I like it.  I may even get one later down the road.  Blue or yellow would be my choice.  I am saving for a Ball right now just in case we end up with a dealer in town.;)

I don't know Gumba...they all look good until you get them home :D..although that new 8217 looks sweet like the Cap'n said hand6.gif

...here's the Croton/Tag homage I told you I bought a couple weeks ago for $68. ....nice watch but unwearable....if you look close at the pic you will see the link directly behind the endlink sticks straight up!....if you take 2 links out to fit it sticks out even more like 2 horns and you can't put a strap on it because of the design....otherwise it would be a nice watch...subtlelaugh.gif

That one does look interesting, I think I would hold out for a black one though!

Interesting use of the Miyota sub-seconds movement but not my cup of tea.

I like the concept but the blue is kind of a wimpy shade. Doesn't Orient make something similar with an open heart?
