I agree 100%, Pax.  After having read the whole story about exactly that on another forum, I still think it was an honest attempt at doing what he did.  Anyway, as I said, I'm more interested in the movement than the watch per se, although I didn't want to get a fake branded watch. 

Maybe Carlos should have just called a spade a spade and sell it as a homage?  I don't know.........

the controversy isn't the design Graham it is that the watch is a replica in sheeps clothing...at least the price was lowered drastically since it was released but it is what it is ....wear it in good health my friend and best of luck...let me just add that I am happy to see someone I know that has vast knowledge of chrono movements buy one and I would be interested to hear your impression over the long haulhand6.gif
