That japy chronograph is a little different. How does it sit on your wrist.I hope it does so to your comfort.

The 300T is even better in person. Size, design of case and the link bracelet is better constructed that the rather delicatly constructed rice bead bracelet. The Japy is incredible, it weighs 225graqms and is bigger than the UTS 3000m.

The Charmex is heavy at 360grams. I know a few guys that have it and they love it and they have the same wrist size as I do so I agreed to the trade and yes it is the yellow dialed Charmex that was on the forums.

What is unique about the Japy is that is an advantage for a left handed person.






As you can see from the following scan of a standard chrono which favors a right handed person, which I am not.

That is a 120m Chronograph which I am wearing as I type. It is definitely an attention grabber.

I have come to the decision that if I am not wearing a watch, it will be sold or traded, which is why I have changes my collection so much.

What is also incredibly unique about Japy is that the movement is encased in stainless steel and can be removed from the watch case and placed into another Japy case design. For example:














The combinations are endless.

The Japy watch is a serious tool watch and a lot of fun due to the alternatives in which you can wear it. This is a keeper.
