Well of course I like it. Nice shots, particularly the lume shot.

Thanks Scott, I see that you have the black dial. This was one tough watch to track down.

They are, but really a nice piece. With all the unhappiness about funky bezels and boxes and circles on the dial, these have a classic look. I don't have the bracelet but it came with an okay aftermarket. I primarily wear it on strap since I have a Breitling depolyment. Mine had a so-so polishing done before it came to me so I'm having the bezel "made right" now, with brushed where it ought to be and polished where it ought to be. That might bring the bracelet back into play. After seeing your pics I am really excited to get it back, hopefully next week.

I know this watch personally. It is an Awesome watch and works perfectly! Like everyone has said 30 to 40 winds to give it a full wind and just wear it and it will be just awesome! Don't over think it Buddy! If you keep shaking it I may have to come to Canada! lol, Just kidding! You won't have any problems with this watch just give it a full wind(not a few shakes) and forget about it and enjoy that bad boy! Roff is right on the money with his post, so just enjoy your Beautiful new watch and I mean Beautiful! Look so Awesome in person I can see why everyone wants it! I'll be there working all next week, so if you have any question just give me a call and we can talk, but your good to go, Enjoy Buddy!

Thanks again, I've wanted this piece for a long time and it feels so nice on the wrist. I'm still in the honeymoon phase, I look down at my wrist about 40 times a day.

Thanks but the watch did most of the work. It is so easy to shoot this watch, my Superocean 44 is a pain!
