I had been looking this one over for quite a while and finally jumped on it. Not for everyone I know, but it filled the gap between a skeleton watch or spending 2 to 3 times as much on a Saphire Ghost or something like Corum has out.

To the watch..well leave it to Slop to get details wrong. Listed at 41mm but it is actually 44mm 10 to 4 and 45.6 across including crown. Listed with a crocodile strap, well it's a Hadley-Roma Alligator. PVD coated case and MOP dial, that's "mother of plastic" just ask Ken:D Diamond markers if you can call them that.

Ticks away with a nice Swiss ETA 2824 with signed black rotor. Swiss Made markings on the dial and LE on the caseback.

Not for everyone, but it is something different and at this point..pretty sweet IMHO.

A few Camera_photos.gi's and thanks for looking.

Looks like ya did well Tony and that strap is very sweet. Look forward to your wrist shots to get a better look at that dial. ;)

Thanks Scott...yes, that one probably is nice too as the dial would make the PVD case pop a bit. I played it safe though:D

Looks to be a watch that you can easily wear with a suit or T-shirt and jeans. ;)
