    I really don't see the point of watches where you can't see 25% of the dial :?

    The magnifying 'portholes' on the Crystal seem to be a Graham signature. I don't recall seeing them at all before the Swordfish.



    The big, elaborate crowns, together with the portholes made me think Graham as soon as I saw it.

    That watch (Frogman chrono) has been out for a few years, mind. The steel version is the same but without the lenses over the counter and date. Not sure why they put those only on the titanium version.

    ...but what do I know; I don't even like watches!

    Whilst not a great fan of Graham's designs, they are unique, so that makes that Hamiliton a very poor copy, which does not work on so many levels. A pity as I normally like most of their offerings.

    Looks like they've been going through their bins.

    Cheers,
