I have wanted one of these Mido's for awhile, but I wanted the silver dial with silver markers, not white, not gray, no diamonds/rubies/sapphire markers so it took awhile.  Trouble is the card was in my mailbox, not the watch coyote2.gif
So a trip to the PO tomorrow at lunch time, and a wrist shot after work :)

Cheers,
Griff

Funny you should mention that, Ken. I saw one up on one of the forums and was gonna shoot you a link. I didn't when I got a close look at the pix. They seller was claiming 98% but the pix were telling me 85% and he wanted $399... I decided you can do better!!

And you're always welcome here... no need to break in. Just leave the Mido and O7 when you leave!!toon1.gif

Thanks for sharing.  I hadn't heard of Mido until your post.  Very nice indeed.  I have decided I like the commander chrono on the mesh bracelet.  May have to make room in the herd.  Wear it in good health.

 

Cheers,

Jim

HA!

Mine did......I ended up running water over the watch and washing the blue stuff off in the sink.


Nice watches without a doubt...enjoy that badboy!


Edited to add: I love how the dial pattern grows out from the 6 O'Clock position.....classy.

It took me a good hour to get that blue film off!  The only thing bothering me about the watch is the bracelet clasp, seems a bit on the iffy side since it is friction only.  The clasp itself is pretty heavy, so I don't know if I can bend it just a bit to be more secure.

That's a beauty Oscar!

Cheers,
Griff

How is that Mido Commander working ? I just bought one just like yours on Ebay, not sure if it is genuine though

It runs great, no problems at all though it is more dressy than I usually wear.  Still it is a sweet watch :)

Cheers,
Griff
