I would like to get one of these. There are not a lot of places to get them from. Perhaps easier to get it in Europe. Does anyone have this particular...

Was your bezel aligned? Just curious.

There it is. I think I saw somewhere a knock off of this watch. It's pretty incredible how everything gets copied.

I agree. The alignment can be corrected anyway.

Likely a Sellita, but I might be wrong. I think Swatch keeps Eta for their own brands.

Lovely. I love the Trident on the seconds hand. Sounds crazy, but that is the reason I want a CW ;) this one is nice. I like the C63 as well.

Great piece of advice.

I have both the watermelon and the mint choc. The watermelon has the wow factor, but I think the mint choc is a very nice one too. All of them are, not even sure where I am going. I think you're going to like it. One thing that surprised me is how "stiff" the crown is when winding. My Hamilton is buttery smooth in comparison. And even my Seikos feel much more refined. But the design trumps it all. A bit disappointed at the fact that the chronograph hand does not perfectly align at 12 o'clock in either. It's minor, but it's there. Hopefully yours will be perfect.

One more week about to start...

One more week in the work "trenches". Going back to my no frills, trusty Seiko. So simple and yet, I just love it!
