For some reason I did not have an ETA 2894-engined chrono in my collection until I grabbed Oscar's Darth Speedway Reserve.  I initially bought it primarily for the movement, but I must say I am impressed with this puppy.  The heft is something else - easily the heaviest watch in my collection.  The gunmetal finish and overall industrial look is new to me. The locking crown and pushers work flawlessly and are very well machined.  I like the MOP effect of the dial!
All in all a great package, and unbeatable value for money.  The Invicta reserve range is certainly in a class of its own!
Thanks for taking care of the watch so well, Oscar!woohoo.gif

Thanks, Brice and Scott!
Brice, sorry I missed your post.  The case size is 45 X 45 and the lugs are 24mm.  This is the heaviest watch I own!  The Ploprof and DSSD feel light in comparison.
