Has anyone here had an MP Ollech & Wajs watch?
If so how good are they?
I have seen a few in daily wrist checks but can someone give me some hands on info and some pictures?
Many thanks in advance.

Check out the Westcoastime banner clear at the bottom. Howard has a model listed as the MP; but it differs from the one you posted. If you send Howard an e-mail or PM he may be able to steer you in the right direction.

I really like the one in the picture, I am looking into it but its mainly curiosity and maybe a future buy.
Howard you say? I will have to PM him. Is that his 3t ID aswell? I am bad with names.

You might be better off contacting him through his website, I don't know how often he visits 3T-

http://www.westcoastime.com/ 

The e mail link is at the bottom of the page

For a PM his username is westcoastime

ND, I don't have one but my kid brother has had an O&W for about 10 years now and he's quite happy with it.

So far, this is my only O&W. Model 3077 with an ETA 2824-2. It is also available with an orange dial and I've seen them with a diver's bezel instead of the GMT.

Smallish for me at a whisker over 39mm; but of very good quality and very accurate. I'll buy O&W again.

I ended up getting the one above will take pictures and post them in new arrivals later.
Beats away at 21600vph by the sounds of it, without opening it up I guess no way to find out for sure the full details.
