Since I think I may be the first to jump on the Magrette bandwagon thought I would go a little overboard on the review and pics. First of all I ordered the watch on the 15th, Dion shipped it on the 16th from NZ and it arrived today.....that's incredible!!! Now on to the watch...I did not buy the upgraded packaging because all I do is put in in a plastic box in the attic but the packaging it came in was still nice, a cool wooden box with a sliding top and the watch and a second strap in a really nice canvas watch roll. The fit and finish is awesome, beautiful polished case, the lugs kind of wrap around my girlish 6.75 inch wrist, the screw down crown works perfectly, to the point it was so smooth I wasn't even sure I was loosening it. The case back on the first 100 watches has a piece of native kauri wood with a paua shell inlay for the logo under glass, with the serial number engraved on it.....a really NICE TOUCH, that makes it unique. The size of the case is 44mm with 24mm lugs with sapphire crystal. This model comes with the Miyota movement which is perfectly fine with me, based on the other Miyotas I have from Keith and Ralf they keep as good time as the ETA's. The thick black leather strap with red backing that came on the watch is great, very soft and comfortable. The second strap is light brown, kind of tan leather, may try that on the watch later. The only possible disappointing aspect of the watch is the lume, the hands are great but the dial markers don't seem to have any lume at all....for me not a big deal, the lume really does not make that big a difference to me one way or the other. In summary, this is a tremendous watch for the money, IMHO worth way more than the $315 that Dion charges for it...and the day/date version is even less. Here are a "few" pics for your viewing pleasure....

I like this one a lot, looks very good on your wrist and the native kauri wood on the case back gives the watch a special touch. Congrats!
