But I love the layout with no tachy scale or date ๐๐ป
I wish the brown was deeper more like a tropical dial, the bezel is a bit hard to read and the hands are sometimes difficult to find in low light conditions. These are really small niggles for what is otherwise an incredible watch, packing a handwound integrated column wheel chronograph with a plexi and no date to worry about. About as good as it gets for a reissue, there's virtually no competition if you want a flyback.
Sounds like they are just starting to go out. I missed out on the brown dial, but honestly this last LE version in dark green/grey suits me better. I'll share photos after arrival.
The bezel is true to the original which was also hard to read. Still a superb tribute !
Much darker and obscure, as best I can tell from the few live photos I have seen.
Glad to hear you love yours so much!
