Hi everyone, I bought this watch in Bahrain back in 2000 from a recognised dealer (I am not doubting it's authenticity). I don't want to sell it or anything (I like it too much and it's a great spare for when the B'ling Airwolf is away or not a sensible choice of wear). I'd just like to find out a bit more about the model out of interest. Any information would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance. |

The hour hand is clearly inspired by a Rolex Sub's hour hand. This we know. |

Not much to say... most likely quartz movement... Used to have one myself... my first real nice watch during high school... super reliable... |

While Rolex may have been the first to use this particular style, many others has used it for a long time. It was in use while the Sub still had a sword hour hand. It derives from "cathedral hands" and is simply a useful shape for a lattice to hold the lume in place. As for the Tag, not much I can add. There are Tag subforums on timezone and watchuseek. That might help. |

Yes, it is a quartz and I have to admit (up until my SQ Airwolf) it is the most accurate watch I have ever owned. Once again, thanks for the helpful info. I may try having a look on some other forums (thanks Sharky) to see if I can find out anything more. Cheers K. |
