Same here. It's stunning. I was also curious if someone here got it. It was looking like a pretty good deal right until the end. Probably still went for a fair enough price.

I spotted it initially but I can't discern 'SWISS' at 6 on the photos so I let it go.

Why do you think this is a good watch?
If we are taking about the Technos still, Technos was a decent quality brand back in the day- on par with something like Hamilton today. They are known for their divers like the Sky Diver, but they made some fun funky designs in the early 70’s- like the Skylight. They have well made stainless cases, generally ETA movements, and sometimes come with a very nicely made mesh bracelet. The dials are the best part though- dished like a piepan with applied indices- and in a C-shaped case, it’s kind like a poor man’s hybrid of a pie pan and c-case Connie in one watch.
So, good quality parts, fun designs, generally priced around the cost of a nice dinner out- the archetype of this entire thread.

Strait endlinks, I prefer fitted and the US fit the case perfectly.
Oh shit, I see they have fitted options too.
Would be interesting the try although what I love about the hollow endlinks US does is that they can be tweaked a little to fit different lug profiles on vintage watches.

I already have a couple projects, so I decided to pass this one on. Message @mcgyver to see if he can make a bezel for this watch. Then make a lowball offer on this one, because it is missing a bezel.

See: https://omegaforums.net/threads/mak...kelite-acrylic-aluminium-tissot-pr516.130587/

Or you could spend a few grand more for this one, ALSO without a bezel ::facepalm1:::
