    Very nice, have been thinking of getting a type 20, albeit 60/70s type, for many years but have never got round to researching them properly, I think I need to seeing yours. Do they still represent good value or are they rocketing up to?

    Fluted bezel and an onion crown! I've wanted a non Chrono with those for awhile. Alas they don't seem to exist in 38-42mm.

    Great watch!
