Just saw this one announced on O.Time and liked it... I enjoyed the vintage diver vibe with the inner rotating bezel, the hands, the cream numbers on the dial and so on. The kind of leather nato strap helps as well. Guaranteed for 600m or 2000ft will be enough for any diver around the block: Question is if the legibility under water is good. For the movement, the M115(26 jewels) might be a SW200 from Sellita I guess: As good as the 2824-2 from ETA since it's his clone with 1 jewel added. 43mm case will be a winner for me if the price isn't too high. A small detail who might be a party-pooper: The inner bezel crown who has a nice 2 tones pusher design but might be a hook grappling a bit everywhere... In the Kashmir pullover of your date? Anyway, she better wear silk  http://oceanictime.blogspot.no/2013/03/maurice-lacroix-pontos-s-diver-vintage.html  |

I like it too Will and echo your thoughts on the bezel crown. It's what I thought too when I saw it on OT. Dim |

I like it. Retro, yet modern at the same time. |

I do like this and it has given me a bit of an "itch". Kinda reminds me of a watch but I cannot put my finger on it .... perhaps an older JLC MasterCompressor or some such. |

I think for me this is one to follow and pick up in the forums when someone gets tired of snagging their girlfriends cashmere with that hook!  |

The Pontos Chronos with the V7750 are coming in between $2,700 and $4,000......based on that the price on the vintage will probably be north of $2K for sure. |
