Yes I do Chtistian. And I still love it!
I just found these 4 year old shots and I suddenly remembered how I was almost hypnotised into it and trying to get some macros with a moments lense.

Two pictures showing this Octa UTC with its two faces. One I like: One which is less my taste, as I would have much preferred a manual winding one. What do you think? Nicolas ...
Both sides are great to my taste.
