    Cool Gimme greenness, gimme coolness

    My original Alpinist craving must be lingering still...

    Requirements:
    - green dial
    - 38-40mm in dia (+/-1mm is OK)
    - auto or solar (analogue or ana-digi)
    - day or day/date
    - sapphire
    - no diver-style blobs (think SKX or Sub) as hour markers
    - no gilt

    For starters:

    I like it a lot but I already have the champagne dial version and so am hesitating a little. (The seconds hand is more copper than gilt so it passes).

    I could order these with sapphire but I don't like the idea of my watches being tampered with, esp. when new.

    Ideas?
