Thanks guys! The shape is what grabbed me in the first place, as there is a 20th Anniversary Aqualand with the same features in a more traditional round case. I scoured sales forums before I pulled the trigger on this one through an AD, and I noticed that everyone for sale was the round shape, never the reverse "D". The dive timing/depth functions are really cool, I love how the hands move around the dial when setup for a dive. I can't wait to try them out hand6.gif

Honest, is was the last on my "roundtuit" list, really! :shock: Sure I have grails (Accutron 218 Deep Sea, Accutron Astronaut (new and cal. 214), Omega Speedie, classic Heuer Carrera and Calculator, Seiko Marine Master and Flightmaster, Orient 300m, Yantar 24hr) but none of them are affordable right now. The Accutrons would need to be NOS or have a lot of restoration money spent, and well, anything over 1K would get me a trip to the tent in the backyard coyote2.gif

I did see some nice Citizens out of Baselworld that would be affordable but that is it. I suppose I could start selling off watches that don't see a lot of wrist time, there are a couple, but that is the only way I can get a grail. Now what to do????

Cheers,
