Ergal...Tradename for 7075 series Aluminium...oooo! Personally, I prefer Alcoa brand 7075...Much mintier, especially in T76 temper. So all you've left me is the opportunity of raising an eyebrow at a Tachymeter scale on a non-circular dial...

That arabic numerals should not appear on such watch, just my view. Regards Ling

Hmm.... these numerals are the ...

Thank you for the input.
