I was pleasantly surprised that the printed indices were so sharp, and almost white, again something I loved.
I could be wrong, but I think they made the sausage dial for another year without the etched movement and then transitioned over to the sandwich variant. I'm no historian or expert; either is a great choice and to be fair I'd have both if I could find one that wasn't polished to death. I assume that they are well worn and enjoyed so it's tough to find one in great condition, or perhaps I'm just not patient enough/too OCD.
Just wait until you have 20+straps. I was warned, didn't listen and here I am - needless to say new watch = must go out and buy more straps, but hey, I don't make the rules!
Enjoy yours and send us some pics.
Best,
Simon
