My Bronzo and Cali both arrived for the new year wow...
well, both in ONE!
Gold hands, bronzo case (slight patina already setting in) and green cali dial... what's not to love?     What a great piece without having to sell my Honda Accord to fund for it! Happy new year and a healthy and happy 2014 to all here! Best, Fred/NJ |

Hey Fred,
Is that a 6497 movement in it? What are the details on it? Looks great! Mike |

Happy New Year Mike!
I took the movement description directly from their website: Seagull Grade 1 TY3600 Hand-winding Hours, minutes, seconds Incabloc shock protection 21600 bph Power reserve 48 h 17 jewels Côtes de Genève decoration And here is the website to order: http://www.gruppogammawatches.com/as...alifornia.html They make relatively small batches and should have another bronzo series in 2014. Owner Naoki is pretty good with responses. At this pricing point, it's cheaper than an OEM strap wow!! |

Nice! I've been trying unsuccessfully to get a 382 or 507 at MSRP now for a while. If the 507 doesn't come through that is a great looking alternative. Congrats!

Ah it's brass and not bronze. Still not a bad looking piece.

Sure looks like brass and a Chinese knock off of the 6497 but if it was under 300 dollars and you like the look then you did good..

Played around with a chocolate calf strap with gold stitching. Seems to fit ok but I just need a pre-V type bronze buckle to go with it now!

Not a bad homage.
Strap combos look solid.
