Thanks for a ll the kind words 3T.  This watch is really difficult to get good pictures of with the domed crystal and no AR. A couple more thoughts after spending some quality time with the Stingray. The watch is very nicely balanced and very comfortable to wear. It seems a large 42mm and has plenty of wrist presence while not being overpowering. While not being a classic "sport/diver" I thinks it is versatile enough to play on both sides of the fence. Talk about clean. Highly legible at a glance from any and all angles. High contrast hands and markers make the Stingray a breeze to read under any condition. Fit and finish is exceptional. There are no rough edges or uneven surfaces to be found. The crown operates smoothly and intuitively. The bezel has a smooth sure action and lines up perfectly. This is an extremely well built watch considering the price. The drilled lugs make strap changes a breeze. This one will be fun to play around with. Lume is excellent, never coming on too strong but lasting all through the night. The only things I would change if I had it to do again... and I was blessed with the patience to wait for a 24 week custom job are these: Add AR coating to the sapphire. Blasted case instead of mirror polish. This thing is going to show everything! I might add a splash of color to the second hand. These are fairly minor to me and may be addressed down the road. All in all, this is a really sweet watch imho! I love the look and feel!perfect.gif

TD-Thanks for the encouragement. I knew it would be good if you told me so. I just wasn't prepared for how good it indeed is. Murph- Glad to enable ya'! I don't think you are going to be disappointed. Stay safe buddy! I have a question for any and all. How do you think the Stingray would look on a Di-Modell Chronissimo?  pic cribbed from Freda

How about this one Mark..Carbonio by Di-Modell..a little less pilotish than the Chronisimo IMHO........the only thing is it tapers to 18mm I love it but some prefer less taper. Attachment: updated 042 (Medium).jpg (Downloaded 40 times)

Fella's, those are great looking watches that I've been looking at for awhile. I'm tending toward the 70 bezel, but that 60 sure looks fine. Congrats!!!
