Oh wow! I guess it kind of make sense. It's a bit too large to counting the seconds.
A beautiful watch.

:yeahthat
It's got no chrono subdial or chrono second hand Sal. The dot above the 6 o clock changes color when the chrono is activated and the big minute hand is the counter. Those old school Superoceans that Fred has are rather difficult to come by.

Thanks Andrew. You get A+ in watch history. I'm impressed. :lol:
Fred - Can you please post a pic showing the dot color change when chrono is activated? Now that's a nice feature. :lingsrock:

No way Sal. If I have my bachelors, then guys like Roff, Fred, vintage (Paul) all have doctorates.

I was just looking at Mido online today after talking to a guy From whom i am getting an Accutron VX as a beater option. NIB and blue as well! Cool deal, Scott. I'll post my value piece when it arrives. More and more I am getting a kick out of searching the bargain brands. Still, Breitling is my thing, but the others like CW and FC have been fun to mess around with.

Looked hard at VX 200s, I think they were. Mine's a preowned but very good condition, couldn't go wrong on the cost. With the 'big names' getting so pricey the lower profile swiss brands provide some variety and fun.
