Really well done watch carl. And an endless study in hues of earthy browns. |

Oh my goodness, this watch looks incredible. A very tempting piece. You can pick them up used at a good price. Look carefully though, the first 6 months or so the 30 minute subdial only had 2 marks between the 5 minute scale markers. Enough people said something about it being hard to tell what “minute” the chrono was counting, that they fixed it. |

Thanks for the tip, Baco Noir They really knocked this one out of the park. I'll keep an eye out for this while browsing listings. |

Talk about sentimental value, that's a neat engraving. Very nicely done. |

I like the combo CHIP. Somehow it really brings out the grey-blue Arabics. |

Are those hour/minute hands black or reflection off ss? |

Oh, and one of the other cool things about this watch, is Tag selected the vintage model to remake using a sports bracket selection criteria where they pitted a lot of old designs against each other in a single elimination types sports bracket and this was one of the final designs selected by the public. |
