Got this one in today. Beautiful dress watch (IMHO). Amazing bracelet, buttery smooth butterfly clasp, nicely done dial, open-heart at 12:00, no date window to mess with, extremely comfy on the wrist (bracelet has half-links for sizing).

Comes with a Sellita sw200 26-jewel movement with a signed rotor, push-pull crown, exhibiton back, and a sapphire crystal. Case size is 40mm. Not for those of you who prefer dive watches, but I like it. Just some quick shapshots below:

You know me Mike... not a two tone man. This is a nice looking piece though and that rotor does kick butt. I'm afraid it will fall prey to the old "if it don't glow then its gotta go"...toon1.gif

I'm like you Mark: Not 2 tones guy but I recognise that it looks great for the one who like yellow gold... I like the all line and the Roman dial. Much attention to detail

Not so fast "Monochrome-Boy"! Two-tone is ok for a dress style watch. muppet.gif

And, this bugger has a decent glow. Better than I expected. So, it is staying.

I'm not saying two tone isn't fine for a dress watch and you have pegged me correctly as monochromatic. I'm devolving in that direction...

I'm surprised at the lume. With the exception of my Astronaut, the lume on the Accutrons I've had has been somewhat disappointing... kinda like a Hamilton!subtlelaugh.gif

Yes, devolution is real, spud. I realize two-tone is out-of-style (mostly) these days. At least in the U.S. market. But, at a bargain price, I could not refuse.

And, I agree the lume on my other three Accutrons is only fair. This watch won't be my go-to night watch for sure. Still it's better than my Gervil GV-2 which might as well not have any lume.

Thanks! The bracelet is killer. Almost as good as the 200 Accutron divers and easier to size.

Thanks! I only have one other watch with gold in it. So, I am not a huge gold person either. I just liked this model.
