I received this one some days ago but I was way to busy with my new 1500 coax...
Here's some shots of this LE(500 pieces...?) from Japan housing a 2824-2(didn't check that yet) with a Bond look.
The bracelet was a cheap one: It just had to leave at once even it was looking OK. I can't stand cheap bracelets...
The bezel's ratchet is a bit weak: I may look inside one day. Bought it for the vintage look: It was low price and worth the try!

I like the look, Will.
Wearing slightly small on your wrist?  The crown looks quite large.
How is the lume?

Looks good , William. Thumbsup3.gifThat bezel with the moving red dot marker is interesting and the switch in the location of the brand as well as watch characterics...."superlative automatic...".

What does the bracelet look like? I think that Incipio would look absolutely unique in anti-shark mesh.....

Enjoy it in good health, amigo.

John,Neo,Graham,Jeff: Thanks guys!
Graham: The case is a 39mm and it comes to 43mm with the crown. Yes, those ^^Relax^^ watches wear a bit little on me but it's still ok...
Jeff: The bracelet was a classic old sub one: Non full steel links but more like those cheap bended plates putted together. So them edges was showing the steels parts...
For the lume, I will test later on and take a shot!

The lume seems a little brighter than average for an inexspensive watch. I'd be happy with that even if it does fade a little fast.

Thanks Murphy! Well, for a 200buks watch supposely containing a 2824-2 eta, I can't complain. I just wanted a vintage classic in this style as a try: It's my first case like that. Wears a bit little but certainly because I'm used of bigger watches.
