    Something different coming

    Wanted a vintage for ages and was excited by the reissue. Thought I'd never get one, but this just shipped from an AD in Toulon. Not for everyone, but I really dig the vintage vibe. Be here Thursday, but I'll be away on business through Saturday :(

    Awesome.
    Have lusted after one since they were introduced, on my radar for 2017 when it'll be logistically easier for me to buy one.
    Please do share pics & impressions after arrival.

    Nice watch but could do with a crown relocation

    Nice watch, though it looks like it would wear very big on a smallish wrist with its extended lugs

    Most unusual, and enjoy your watch! But can I ask, what is the intention of the crown relocation? It will no doubt be harder to wind, so is it intended for any particular activity where the crown needs extra protection? Just curious...

    It's a re-issue of the 60's version. Crown is true to its original location. North or south, their thought was it was better out of the way. I'd love the original, but scarce as hens teeth and 37mm is a bit smaller than I'd like. The reissue is 40.5.

    Original:



    Tracking says it will deliver today....just wish I was there to receive it!

    That looks great - really interesting design

    I think that the crown position looks OK

    A very different look, I can't make up my mind whether I like it or not. Curious to know if anybody has any experience of a watch with the crown in either the 12 or 6 o'clock position, how 'fiddly' is it to access, or is it not a problem? Thanks.

    Love it. Old feel but new. Only slightly larger than vintage but not too much to where it seems out of place. Fit and finish are fantastic. All in all, I'd say a winner.

    No UK AD yet (remember I asked you for suggestions for a suitable London based retailer?), if you're interested in one - you'd almost certainly be the first UK owner - I'm sure I could sort it - I know the guys who set up the brand pretty well.
