I am very pleased overall with the price, service and communication from the seller.hand6.gif The watch is BNIB, shipped in the Hami box with Books/warranty.
First impression is great overall, I am a happy WIS...
The watch looks as good as I thought it would based on the pics, I love the use of red on the dial and hands, the strap is comfy and light, the case is fairly big but not overdone with the lugs dropping down in a smooth sweepdown curve... it is very comfortable overall and is actually VERY light... seems to be half the weight of my Moray as I was switching watches earlier and held both at once. It wears kinda like a Titanium watch, I really expected it to be much heavier!!
The brushed finish is sweet and a pefect combo with the dial color and strap. The Dial's diamond pattern is just SWEETwoohoo.gif and meshed well with the oevrall look of the watch, using white and red color. it is admitedly a bit sportier and aggressive than the Navy blue or blck dial, which I love and may very welld end up buying
but it is a nice watch nonetheless and the ETA 2983 true GMT mvt is a beauty I have already spent much time admiring thru the exhibition case back!The crystal on the back has a logo and Operations Poseison on it, the MVT rotor is engraved "HAMILTON".. it realy looks good both from the front and from... hm... "behind"...The crowns are easy to operate overall thought crown A is a little more stubborn than I'd like it seems, but it is new so we'll see... personally I think this watch could have done with 2 crowns instea dof wo and kept a little simpler in looks but also in useless complexity giving it more chnace for something to break or water to come in. Oh yeah the watch is WR 200m, all three crowns are screw downs... There are just 3 to remember to check on before diving
The only drawback one might see with this watch vs other versions is that there are no city names or locations, rather the inner bezel opening displays values... not a big deal to me as I am not yet senile and know which country I am in or tracking the time of
Well I have only had the watch a couple of hours so this is first impression... I like it and would love to compare first hand with a Navy or Racer...
Enjoy the bad pics:)
Cheers
