    Strange. That watch puts together a lot of details I don't like into a whole package that I do.

    Newest Accutron II is Green. It's hard to tell from the photo but it's a sophisticated green grey. A lovely watch.

    That's nicely understated. Reminds me a bit of the new (ish) Rolex Oysters

    Makes perfect sense--you don't like round cases, white dials or Arabic numbers, but you like round cases, white dials AND Arabic numbers.

    That's interesting, because I have the same exact feelings: date badly "placed", wrong font, sub dials intercepting the minutes scale, date set @ 10H...all things I do not like. And yet, I really like this chrono.

    Don't forget the cutoff numerals.

    When you say the date set, is it a push button date change like on my Pan Europ?

    Haha. Now, sticking with the theme....I don't like gold watches, dress watches and as we all now know, Arabic numerals....but this just magically appeared in my mail box and I can't seem to take my eyes off it. Simple, elegant and that 50's/60's /70's vibe.



    So when you start buying watches that have qualities that are usually a no go, you know you're really screwed. I think my watch obsession just reached a whole new level!
