PAX will be post OUR pictures (as I do not want to raise my carbon footprint by using all that battery power).  It is an amazing watch in fit & finish.  Case is beautiful and the bracelet is outstanding (Yes, I will be checking all of the bracelet screws and lug screws).

The watch appears to me to be one of the original Bernhardt Instruments pieces that has been redialed.  The case back is clearly inscribed, "Bernhardt Instruments" with the LE number of 134/1000.  The bezel, which is what 1st attracted me, is gorgeous and the dial is a very pleasant surprise.  It is a much nicer color than any of the pictures showed...it is a very rich, soft beige with raised & outlined applied markers...came in a very nice wooden box, and the size is perfect for me.  All in all, @ $200, a deal as good as, if not better than, the Shnoops Accutron.

Probably will not mod this, but the jury is still out...perhaps a 2nd one for that!

I am a happy camper with this purchase...and did I mention the 2 day delivery?

Nice pickup guys! Thanks for the pics, especially the wrist shot. The markers really do stand out. I like the collaborative effort!

Excellent. Looks to hold the BI quality to me. I've enjoyed the Corsair so maybe I will grab one down the road. Yea never know with me from one day to the next LOL :cool:

Great pics and that cream color dial is sweet. Good pickup indeed. hand6.gif
