    For this money it’s great beater. How many exotic racing dial chronographs are there for this money!

    I’ll say the fact it’s a modern watch makes it even more appealing because it can be used without fear of too much damage.

    Well that’s it, the deed is done- I was lucky I had a credit on a birthday present.:cool:
    But it will take a while as the first batch is already sold out, the second batch will only ship out in the spring. I’m very excited though - if the pictures are faithful to the color I really like it.
    Many thanks for enabling. :)

    This one has just arrived and even with its plastic film it’s quite beautiful. Very solid, with a beautiful strap, great dial and detailing.
    It scratches that exotic Nina itch and is exactly what I hoped some day someone would make.

    Super nice! Any idea what it went for?

    The plastic :eek: Hopefully it has degraded already so that all is left is a beautiful watch ::love::

    it’s a Sicura. I loved it for its looks, bull head, size…except the fact that the case was plated steel. It’s gone to eBay heaven.
