 Well, 3 out of 4 voices in my head said I should order a Triton.  In my head, it is a democracy after all, and the yeas had it, so:







For those who haven't  yet experienced a Debaufre, you owe it to yourself to give one a go.  I've only had mine a couple of days but it is a superb watch so far.  The crown operates smoothly and surely, with none of the binding or grittiness I've found with other, similiarly priced watches.  The bezel operates smoothly but is sufficiently tight that it's not likely to move if bumped or rubbed against a neoprene wetsuit.  It's a 60 click bezel, I think....I was interuppted and lost count at 48 clicks.

The watch face is very easy to read with its white hands against the black dial.

I don't have a good feel for its accuracy yet, but in comparing it to the atomic clock, it seems off by maybe 3-4 seconds a day.

I'm so glad SkipDawg and the other two guys in my head voted yea.  This is a great watch.

Mr. Bill

P.S. The lone dissenter in my head had a higher voice, probably my wife.
