 I bought an O7 G-1 after I noticed the similarity between it and the Steinhart/Debaufre GMT watches.  It is a nice watch, though the micro adjustment on the bracelet is useless because of the diver's extension.  As a result I rarely wear it because I just can't get a good fit on my wrist.  I know I could put it on a strap (and I have a spare Hirsch Trieste for it), but it just looks right on the bracelet.

BTW, back when I was in to Accutrons, Mitch tossed me off the Yahoo Accutron group he moderated because of a post I made looking for a guy who had one of mine for repair and then wouldn't answer emails/telephone calls.  That pretty much turned me off original hummers and vintage watches in general.  Unless I could get a mint Deep Sea that needs no work... :D

Cheers,

Oh yeah, I did get the Accutron back, untouched, after nearly a year...
