Thanks for reminding me of this beauty, Alex! I'm putting her on for the rest of the evening SM 2576, cal 342 rail track waffle dial with rose gold markers:
Chronograph week continues with a chrono-chrono. There are not that many chronograph chronometers. Add a 300m diving capability, drop dead good titanium looks and a beautiful movement and you have a real winner. And I can read the time without my glasses on. If they would just have left out the helium valve it would have been perfect. I wear it on a rubber strap but I show it here on the original bracelet.
No, there is not a single person in this world that actually need a watch with a helium valve. The guys/girls who are saturation divers just do not use watches in that way (anymore). Does it serve any other purpose - yes, marketing ploy and penis enlargement device.
I have a chrono chrono - but it's only 100m water resistant and no helium penis marketing enlarger. I'd say that's more than sufficient for a pilot's watch, even when parallel parking your puddle jumper at the seawall.
I felt compelled to like your post Larry for two reasons. The first is it's a cool watch. The second was to keep your "Like" count higher than your post count.
Thanks, Dennis; you must be prescient, I've been bothered by that very thing. Ooops, sillly me, what do I do now?
