And what is a very likeable thing for me is the crown and pushers topside instead of the normal side placement. :cool:

Holy Supersize me! That's a lot of watch!  I too am a fan of pushers and crown at the top of the case. I like that retro stopwatch feel. I could never wear that watch but I really like it. Nice aquisition Skipdawg love the dial and hands.

I don't know how many times I have said it. I hate chrono's but that watch my man, I would definitely buy and own. That is absolutely gorgeous and very unique. I suppose that is some sold out LE run?

Thanks Dave. Was so tempting to go after that Doxa too. Plus there was a Doxa GMT that had my eye and then this came in view and I had to pull the trigger. Had another get away awhile back. ;)

Ya skip I have to admit this watch is you, but man I guess I have to agree with Tony it's built like you hehehehe.  I really like the watch(they have a white dial mod-375 I like to). Enjoy it.  Also Skip thanks for the pm on the ocean7, I was to late.

Congrats on a great looking Formex, Dawg. They are super cool and also super comfortable due to the "suspension" system. Another great grab!!

I hate chronos too....and then, somehow, ended up with about 8 of them that I really like! mistake.gif 

Nice one Dawg!

LOL Ken I can relate to that. Up till about 2 years ago I had not owned a Diver. Now at least 60% of my collection is a diver. LOL :D

Hay I did not show off the package deal with this. A cool case and a few straps. 1 leather and 2 rubber. ;)
