Even on the rubber strap the YC is quite blingy in person.

Nice set there Sharkman. :thumbsup:

The only one I personally don't like is the Yacht Club - I much prefer more traditional Portugese...... like your FANTASTIC 7 Dayer there. Very nice indeed.

Of course I do - I'll take all comers and all jabs. All I have to do is look at the underside of the Yacht Club, 7 Day, or Chronomaster and I haven't a doubt this made perfect sense to me. :nana:

I just noticed that on the dial of the olympus that the abbreviations for the day and month are not in english. Do all olympus dials have this or are there some that have english abbreviations?

The Montbrillant and Navitimer Olympus have the day and month dial in French. There is an older version which isn't called an Olympus but has a similar dial lay-out that is in english. I believe the B4B Mark VI complication 19, which has a similar dial layout, is in english but significantly more expensive.
