 What do you guys think about this watch?  Can be had for about $250 new... I like the retro look, not too sure about the bezel material? Plastic? Ugh

 That is true Swiss made watch, Eric. I have had mine for two years and it is a great watch for the money. The bezel hasn't shown any sign of scratching and looks much better than in the pictures. Mine keeps very good time also.

 Nice watch KenC!  I did not know they had blue. I am leaning towards the white, found one in 98% for $220.

 These are great watches and great values, Eric. I have had ZERO issues with mine and have to agree with Edge...VERY accurate. Get the bracelet version!! What you see at 3:00 in the below pic is dust, not scratching...

And...of course, I reviewed it...just for you (NOT)!!

 Hey Pax, we share similar lusts in the WIS world hahaha!  I can always count on you to test my future purchases prior to investing in them. This is a good deal. smile8.gif

I am waiting to close on a bid in a few hours for a nice Tissot PRS516!!!!


Stunning watch you got there. I like the Strap combo. I am getting it with the bracelet. I dig the retro look. toon1.gif

 Eric...........aftermarket racing straps are easily picked up, but the bracelets are not.

Here the Hirsch Rally from Watch Prince:  http://www.thewatchprince.com/s.nl;jsessionid=ac112b1d1f438556196ac08846c3a0edb9d7388a3e39.e3iKaNePch4Re34Ta3qTb3yTbN50n6jAmljGr5XDqQLvpAe?c=449645&sc=2&sort1desc=F&sort1=Item_NAME
