^{Oscar yes it is silky sweet and smooth! Hey can I see your one with the bracelet? Would you mind post a couple of shots of the bracelet?

This watch was said to be circa 1991 but I was in luck as it is surprisngly quite good in condition as shown in the pics!!! The only thing I need to do is to get a new strap!:(}

Thanks guys! And thanks Foster for the pic too!

Yes it wears bigger than 38mm, almost like 40/41mm. I have ordered a brown croc strap for it thru WHO ELSE????? But Ken!!!! LOL!!!!smile8.gifsmile8.gifsmile8.gif

I think the bracelet is nice to have for the summer! But it is very hard to get cos I think this is a discontinued model. Hmmmm????

Thank you Mark! I have ordered a Browm Croc strap for it and hopefully it will go with the KINGMATIC.

Now I know who to sell this watch if I am tired of it! hehehe....

Now I'm really feeling left out! :)

I guess I am going to have to start hunting for one again!

Don't get too excited about the bracelet though it comes factory with a polished raised section and a brushed lower section and they are both impossible to keep that way! :)

It still looks sweet on the bracelet though.

Chris,

I actually found a bracelet for the KINGMATIC, but the bracelet is not for the chrono KINGMATIC but for the normal KINGMATIC. The difference is that the clasp of the bracelet that I've found is a double deployment butterfly clasp instead of the one in Oscar's pic with a diver double locking clasp.

Sigh...I give up. I guess I will settle for a croc strap for it. :?

You want one too??? Gee great!!! That makes 2 of you, if I think of letting it go!!! :P;)

I don't think the clasp style matters much it's only a 100m watch anyway so a divers extension is embarrassing!

Mine came straight from the Movado store with the double fold clasp.

I like it....it's a really clean look.
