Let me preface this post by saying, although its still a bit off, this is my birthday watch and it is even nicer to get it from such a good friend! I've been after one of these for a while and saw one up for sale on another forum. I knew O had one so I thought I would ask his opinion on the watch. Well I got more than his opinion. I got his Tutima since he's gone off and decided he wants a yellow DI 300. So, I got a better deal and, dare I hazard a guess, a better watch. Specs lifted from Gemday
This watch is shockingly light especially when compared to my Fortis Marinemaster which is just about the same size. Its got a beautiful titanium case and bracelet and is extremely light and comfortable but with enough presence to let you know you are sporting a serious timepiece. Fit and finish are excellent. The 2836 is probably my favorite ETA movement and I am a sucker for the black with white lettering on the day/date display. The dial is a deep dish which shows more orange when in sunlight but appears at times a reddish/orange. The dial appears lacquered enamel and is very rich and inviting. The hands are the very model of simplicity and the overall dial layout is economical and clean. I haven't worn Ti since my son was born (he's 5) and I am looking forward to getting reacquainted with it. I have a feeling this is going to be a regular in the stable and bring forth a surge of orange in my rotation. Pix:     |

Congrats on one great looking, eye popping orange Tutima. I had the chance to try one on recently and was definitely impressed. Hope you enjoy your early B-day present.  Len |

Happy happy Birthday Watch!! You don't see enough of these Tutimas around. I'd have a tough time deciding between the Yellow and the Orange. Both gorgeous divers! |

Hey Pax That really is a terrific looking timepiece! Simple, classy, but with some real guts. And the bracelet helps the face pop. Striking! Happy Birthday from wet and windy Western Australia and I hope you enjoy the new acquisition! IanM |
