I've been lookin' at that one too Tony!crap.gif ("almost" pulled the trigger about a week ago"...)

I'm liking the overall vibe (and agree, a bit of a copy on the SevenFriday watch), but I do like the overall design of this one...cool case, and unique dial.

But the Grey Blasted/Green is sold out already...hmmm...what color combo, and only PVD cases left??? I'm liking the yellow and the red versions of this one.

I agree Chris. I didn't see the blasted versions but like the PVD. The green is very cool. Jeff, I think the hands on this one are a bit longe but still not a Watch you can read at a glance ]

The Green model case is the Grey Blasted (or maybe its just a grey PVD??? I'm not sure).

All the other models (Red, Blue, Yellow), have the Black PVD case.

I also agree with Jeff that these aren't easy watches to read the time at a glance, but that's not really the point with this design either IMO...it's just cool and unique with the exposed dial layout, and the bright colored hour hand helps to dial in the time with a short glance (The day/night indicator is pretty cool too IMO). Your getting a sapphire crystal with the Ancon X-35, and mineral crystal with the SevenFriday....

Different looks for sure, with a core that looks like either Ancon ripped off the design from SevenFriday or somehow collaborated... hmmmm

You read my mind O...I pulled the trigger on the Grey PVD/Green version after some deliberation between the Green and Yellow combos. The grey PVD case offered with the green won out in the end, but I still really like the Yellow accent model as a close second.happy guy.gif

...now...strap choices!
