Great looking watch Robert. It looks hefty too. I like the red writing on the dial. Good luck with it

The stenciling and the half and half colors of the smaller dials are wonderful. Add in the weight and it rocks!

Hey Astcell, now that you've owned it for a few months, how are you liking it? I have always loved big Chrono's and this watch has the best pushers IMO...just love the waffle-effect. The stencil numbers are pretty sweet too. |

I like it a lot. I actually like the weight, I am not much for titanium and lightness at all. I wanted the Blacksteel (missed it by 1 day) but actually I have seen plenty of them for sale and at no premium, so I can get one online if I really wanted.

Yeah, I'm kind of glad I didn't pull the trigger on the Blacksteel when I was originally going to buy...probably saved myself almost $3K compared to what they are going for now. I think now that they've been out a while, you could probably pick up a LNIB example and not have to worry about too much more short-term depreciation. |

I still do not know why I have the inner dial that goes to 100. Any ideas?
