It may be tough to tell the time...

But it is a delight to look at..

i actually flipped a couple of watches (trade value $5000) for it. The watch has an excellent pedigre as it won watch of the year in 1997.

The first skeletonized Automatic Chronograph, this magnificent timepiece has been awarded "watch of the year" both in Switzerland and Japan.
Automatic Chronoswiss Caliber C.741S, a Chronoswiss refinement of the ETA 7750, highly skeletonized with rhodium plated skeletonized rotor with the skeletonized Chronoswiss logo
Dial has been painstakingly cut-away wherever possible to view the inner workings of the movement
Sapphire crystal front and back allows full view of the movement from all angles
Hour, minute, and second hands are Breguet Losange style blued steel
Analog date sub-dial at the 3 o'clock
Chrono-center-second along with 30-minute-register and 12-hour-register subdials

Case Dimensions: 38 mm in diameters and 15 mm thick
Individually numbered on the dial at the 6 o'clock position next to the name "Opus".

That is an amazing watch. Congrats! BTW, I am expecting a little something myself later today.

watchgeek · 19 October 2007, 01:54 AM

what are you getting mark?????
let's see .... you have the sub and the explorer -- perhaps a daytona? or a YM?

ohsixx · 19 October 2007, 02:03 AM

Well it was suppose to be delivered by 10:30 this morning and I still do not have it. I better wait until I have it in my hands before talking too much. It is already noon here and no watch yet.

Current status: On Fedex truck for delivery.

Congrats, that is a great looking watch. I have a friend who has a Chronoswiss and has been very happy with it. Their watches are very well made. Enjoy.

That's got some crown for a 38mm case!

Reminds me of the crown on an IWC Big Pilot's Watch (46mm case!) :
