Yeah.. I did see that one.. but I think its more than I want to spend on a pure dress watch as I don't think its something I can wear that often.. maybe later down the road. The Defy line is much more my style in the end... There is a Chronomaster Open that has a retrograde date as well... i think that's even cooler :D

Yeah, I love that one - but it's only available in gold.

Only in Gold? too bad.

I got the Defy Power Reserve today.. and i love it!! I hope the novelty lasts... this is a really nice watch, and not too flashy either. I hate how the links attach tho.. they have the double screw on either side, like the Breitling screw that attaches to the clasp.. you need 2 screwdrivers to undo them.. its annoying!

Otherwise.. wow.. what a dial! The movement is cool too.. with very nicely decorated bridges. If they inscribed some more gold writing on it it could look like a Glashutte Original style movement :D I can see the composites used in the movement too.. for shock absorbancy. I'll have pics up later.

I also got me a Hamilton Jazzmaster Chrono... now this is a SERIOUS bang for buck watch.. it looks incredible. It wears like a watch worth twice the money. Its cheaper than a Breitling Colt Auto, but I think I would have to say its a better value in my books. Looks so nice! Pics later as well.

Nice pick up on the Defy - you can be my guinea pig, because I do think the novelty would wear off and I have a problem selling watches :lol:

Hamilton make some very nice watches, and I agree the value is exceptional.
