I like it! And at that price - you can't go wrong.

I have been looking at Lemania-based movement watches for over a year, and this one is very affordable by comparison to some of the older classics I am researching.

I get it, Graham - cool movement in that puppy.

Congratulations! I reckon you should put it on mesh...  woohoo.gif  ;)

That's a good write-up, Graham. No need to be bashful about the Swatch. I respect the brand very much and it's market niche startegy is something that always amazes me. Swatch stands for lots of quality, even on quartz. My regulator is a Swatch quartziesubtlelaugh.gif, by the way and the choice is because it was Swatch. I could have gone Seiko or Citizen but I chose Swatch to be the pacer of my entire collection.

I saw 3 chrono models at the AD recently and honestly, I found them to be too light. No question about the movement, as for sure it has an impeccable track record ---- personally, I would have gone for more weight. I agree with the rest. Maybe the watch's marketability would have improved had it been on steel.

Big congrats, amigo! hand6.gif

Thanks, Ian and Jeff.
Ian, unfortunately the proprietary lugs won't accept mesh.  The lugs  even differ from the rest of the Swatch cases.
Yes, Jeff, it is quite light, and I would have preferred a steel case.  However, this is still a Swatch, so they want to retain the essence I guess.

Interesting case. Makes me think back to my old Jellyfish.
