Wow do I feel lucky to have come upon this watch at such a bargain price. I was just checking the Elite Deal Seeker one morning last week when I stumbled upon this which had been listed for 3 hours as of about 0600!! I immediatley emailed the seller and asked if it was ETA auto and he said he would check and let me know. I also PMed Berg asking for more info. Funny thing... he was wearing the same watch that day and confirmed this little bugger is powered by a ETA 2824-2. BOOM!! I had to have it!! Very nice looking PVD case vey much like my Broadarrow from Eddie. The grey dial just kicks butt imho. The ladder hands seem right for the mil style dial. Smooth runner. Smooth bezel action. Holy scheisee!! This is a cool Orsa for the collection!! I'm not a NATO strap guy but this seems right athough I might just play around a bit. Yipee!! I got an auto Pro Diver!! Q&Ds    Inspiration said BOND!!  May get one of these... what says you??  |

Thanks Chris, O and Steve. I had never seen this one either and was frantically PMing O and Berg for information. The seller was kind enough to contact Berg as well for information. The seller's pic was a little sketchy but I though WTH? May be Martin could tell us a little history on the grey dialed Pro diver Autos? I swear the case is dead on with Eddie Platt's PRS-11. I dig it! Steve, I think you are right about the Nato!! Puuurrrfect... And you know I never posts 'em untils I gots 'em!! Seller's pic:  |

I think you have scored a real winner. It is the best looking Orsa I've seen (for my tastes). I'm with you on not being crazy for the Nato, but you can have fun finding a couple of other cool straps to set it off. I like the all black look strap to set off the gray dial. hearteyes.gif |
