Thanks, Gerardo for the inspiration. Had my eye on one of these for some time now, but your recent threads sealed the deal. Went in with intensions to buy the black one but ended up with blue. What a great, fun piece indeed. Absolutely love it.

Seems like I can't post more than one photo at a time.

Congrats Laszlo, lookin good.

GB-man · 10 August 2014, 03:13 PM

Nice laszlo! Enjoy it

CWIN · 10 August 2014, 05:27 PM

Congrats! I'll probably end up picking up the same as well.

Travelair007 · 10 August 2014, 09:08 PM

Cool

jhcam8 · 11 August 2014, 12:01 AM

Sweet!

Alfredo. · 11 August 2014, 12:22 AM

Very nice! Big congrats!

Psmith · 11 August 2014, 01:15 AM

Congrats - I have my eye on one of these

Still undecided as to whether blue or black

How is the accuracy so far?

Tudor66 · 11 August 2014, 01:31 AM

Look what guys started- I think I want one as sell..!

Laszlo · 11 August 2014, 05:44 AM

Thanks, guys! :-)

It's a great addition and one has to admit the movement efficiencies are worth taking note. I mean, a 90-hour reserve? Only 51-parts with five modules. Hermetically sealed, no maintenance required... Wow.

From an aesthetic perspective, I went in with my heart set on the black since I felt it would be contemporary and traditional (safe). But once I saw both the red and blue, and that amazing graphical dial, which photos don't do justice, an immediate emotive admiration set in, a revival throwback if you will, with so much visual attraction.

A must have for any WIS IMHO.

Thanks, Gerardo again for your son's great taste that clearly takes after his most awesome dad.

PS - haven't observed accuracy yet but one of the coolest, possibly serendipitous finding, is that when in a nice quiet surrounding, you can hear her ticking on your wrist without bringing it up to your ear. It's very cool and soothing... This watch equals fun.

andrey_ · 11 August 2014, 06:06 AM

Very nice, congrats!

finaloption · 12 August 2014, 01:29 AM

congrats! i also went in thinking i would purchase the black one but ended up buying the blue one

fun little watch.. i had it on my end table the first night and i had to get up and put it away in my case because the sound was so loud and was keeping me up :)

HogwldFLTR · 12 August 2014, 02:43 AM

Interesting watch; I was curious how they fit in with the collections and why the purchases.

speedo · 14 August 2014, 04:23 AM

To my collection it fits perfectly i reckon. I needed a fun summer watch and when i saw it in flesh i knew i had to have it.

GerardoG · 16 August 2014, 04:06 AM
