I picked up a Sweet Xemex OffRoad from chris s. this week...Ty Chris!  I am a Big fan of the Xemex Brand and it is their 10 year anniversaryhand6.gif....the Offroad was the very 1st model introduced and has become a cult legend among some Collectors! The simplicity of design and function with the moving lugs,sapphire crystals frt/bck and nicely decorated eta 2824-2 is one of my favorites!... and this is a fine example!watch2.gifI had the pleasure of talking with Chris a fellow Buckeye!... and it is always great to meet a WIS Buddy that has such a fine Collection and is just an all around Good Guy!cool10.gif   |
