Congrats Chris!thumbsup.gif

This Athaya homage is a completely new one on me...first time seeing the brand and this particular model.

Looks great and clearly a great value option for those looking for a 6105 vibe. Reminds me quite a bit of the Smiths PRS-68, which is another 6105 homage. The Athaya definitely has the lowest price, and looks like great bang-for-the-buck.

Did the Athaya go with the sweet 6105 bi-directional ball bearing style bezel or a more conventional bezel? The PRS provides the ball-bearing bi-directional bezel, which I still find very desirable.

Great look to the Athaya in both the Blue and Black dial options! bravo.gif Great looking piece...Enjoy!

...here are a couple pics of my SMITHS for comparison...(the smiths uses the Miyota 9015 movement...and is also priced considerably higher than your Athaya)
