I love the looks of that watch. I just may have to get a black one now that Marc has finally gotten them in stock. It's gotta glow ya know. And, I don't mind one bit that it is quartz. It's nice to have a watch you can just grab and go.

I just envy the fact that the white dial GZ's come with a polished case while the black dials are satin finished. I luv the polished case, but the lumn is most important. cat28.gif

Beautiful retro look. Love that dial. Nothing wrong with a quartz. There are a few models out there I would love to own. hand6.gif

Thanks Mike, Steve and Skip...  I only have 2 white dial watches, so I went with the white on this even though it isn't lumed like the black dial is... ;)

Okay...I'll write it off to the fact that it's "early" where you are, and that you are have to screw around with that green stuff...whatever it is!:P

BTW, MODS don't get "timeouts", they get "the WRATH"! :dude:

Well despite Ken's view on quartz,  I gotta side with Ken on the Gators - they are giving WKU a major league whooping at 49-3 with 8 minutes left in the 4th quarter... :D

OK, some live q&ds as promised...  and thanks Marc for persevering in getting this one for me... hand6.gif









Even  my daughter noticed the watch and said she liked the 'old' look to it...  it may be a quartz, which is taking a little getting used to again, but I like it...

Nice Steve and congratshand6.gif, but I have to tell you I had to take a double look at the wrist shot.....funny how one gets used to watches smothering the wrist like your Debaufre and LM.........makes this one look small, and I know its not:D

Anyway, enough rambling:P Nice ScoreThumbsUp02.gif

Thanks Skip and Tony... and yes Tony, its 42mm so not too small, but is dwarfed by the others, but a nice little change of pace... ;)

Look nice, Steve. Like Tony I was struck by how it appeared in the wrist shot after seeing you in the uber-flieger. Does have a nice calssic appeal.

Doesn't the ticking of the second hand make you crazy a bit. I've been staring at my Eco-Drive watching it tick away...

Nice score and kudos to Marc for making it happen!!

Thanks Mark...  and yes the quartzy-tick is taking a little getting used to, but the look makes it easier to adapt... ;)
