    Worth the wait definitely. I'm partial to the same style so your watch case is full of eye candy for me.

    I'll try to find time to get some more detailed pictures tomorrow.
    It's a bit late in the day for photos; hopefully do a better job in daylight.

    I had heard the olympos was being rereleased. I've always thought it was a pretty cool watch. Congratulations.

    I believe they've released 5 models. The other black-dialed one is rather nice ...

    ...but it had to be the 'Military' one for me.

    Congrats on the new arrival. You and I like a similar look in watches (we both have the good taste to own a Smiths 29b ), I really like that Zodiac.

    Not sure if I'll use that; but a nice extra nonetheless.

    I’d never heard of this watch, so hit Google. I could only find one reference on the MWR forum, which was curtly dismissive of its military connections, but that’s not why I’m posting. The MWR post led me to the website below where the watch description develops into a splendid rant, accompanied by some less than convincing research. I post it purely for its entertainment value -

    (None of this takes anything away from the watch, which I like.)
