Funny story about that...In the late 90's, I saw a magazine ad with Russian Cosmonauts wearing them. I grabbed the number at the bottom for to request a catalog. I was surprised how expensive they were. I loved the look and told myself this would be the first timepiece I bought when I could work up the courage to spend that kind of money on a timepiece. That took me nearly ten years to bite the bullet. I've been pleased with it. I've done a lot of night flying with it and it stays very luminous after a short burst of light to the dial. I've never seen anyone else with one on their wrist in my area. Rare piece around my neck of the woods.

Thank you.

I'm not a huge fan of straps. There are many timepieces I would buy in a second if they had bracelets available for them.

I do think gold timepieces look great on a skin though!

I have decided my next piece is going to be a Cartier Roadster Chronograph. I really like my wife's Roadster the more I look at it.

Nice - I wouldn't call it "small," "rational" is a better word!
