 it does look sharp nice to see the improved balance wheel and incabloc shock protection.

There are not 36 pivot points in that movement though so the extra 10 or so jewels must just be super glued on somewhere dog smile.gif

 Spooky timing on your link Oscar!

I was just researching the STP-11 movement over the weekend for a watch I was interested in!

I've been highly tempted by the Zodiac Super Seawolf 68 ever since they first revealed them (Especially the LE version, which really does it for me).


The biggest hurdle for me has been considering a piece from an entity where Fossil is the parent company. crap.gif Strangeville, for sure.


After doing some research on the STP-11 movement, and also seeing a number of favorable reviews and impressions, I pulled the trigger on the LE version yesterday...chickendance.gif, so I look forward to checking it out!

 That's the one Oscar! thumbsup.gif

Distribution on these is highly controlled it seems...Watch Station seems to be the only place to pick one up, so that's where I ordered mine. Unfortunately, discounts are non-existent as far as I can see. You seeing these anywhere else?

I was looking at these tonight....I like the orange or black non-LE versions. I plan on getting one for my 25th wedding anniversary which is today!! I'll wait and see how the discounts go....no hurry.
