I didn’t fully appreciate the funky lug design until I received mine:


IMHO The beige lume works best with the eggshell dial:


You can see that funky lug design in this shot:


Very slim profile with long lugs that hug the wrist:


You knew this was coming!😆


Enjoy the extended weekend to those celebrating Memorial Day!🥂

Still not sure between the white, the beige and the black, but I will probably get two of them. Strongly convinced and seduced.

I will probably get the beige I think!🤔

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : May 26th, 2024-16:20

Well, for me, white and / or black. AND more probably than OR. ;)

 
 By: amanico : May 26th, 2024-17:21

Cool!👍

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : May 26th, 2024-17:28

Do it, mon ami!

 
 By: Mach : May 26th, 2024-19:02

I will.

 
 By: amanico : May 26th, 2024-21:18

A modern time capsule.

 
 By: hora12reborn : May 26th, 2024-16:11

So very true, my friend!🥂

 
 By: Mach : May 26th, 2024-19:03

Mark this is a very convincing addition! I read on their website it’s a 35mm case? I would never have considered such a small case but it does not too small on your wrist!

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : May 26th, 2024-16:21

It wears a tad bigger. I tried the vintage ( same size ), very convincing, mon ami.

 
 By: amanico : May 26th, 2024-16:33

Good to know! The site shows sold out but I guess they will stock again hopefully soon

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : May 26th, 2024-16:45

There is a mention which says " back in stock in June ".

 
 By: amanico : May 26th, 2024-17:20

Ok yes I see it now!

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : May 26th, 2024-17:28

Aaaah, then....

 
 By: amanico : May 26th, 2024-18:02

I discovered something new today and a new brand :-)))

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : May 26th, 2024-22:23

really? They made some great watches, back in the day.

 
 By: amanico : May 27th, 2024-04:50

I don’t have a good knowledge of the vintage or historical heritage of some brand. But I must say I like what I say from these guys. Very intriguing

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : May 27th, 2024-11:28

The Antartique is not the only one. The Pac Man and some Chronographs, too...

 
 By: amanico : May 27th, 2024-15:09

Yeah they have a few cool ones

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : May 27th, 2024-15:22

And what about this one, which was quite innovative?

 
 By: amanico : May 27th, 2024-15:25
...  

less to my taste but I also like this one

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : May 27th, 2024-15:35
...  

Yes, too explorer-sih for me.

 
 By: amanico : May 27th, 2024-15:37

you're probably right...even ressemble the Ranger a bit as well

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : May 27th, 2024-16:51

As Nico mentioned, I feel it wears larger. I enjoy these re-editions, which are true to the original vintage piece!🥂

 
 By: Mach : May 26th, 2024-19:06

Well thank you for introducing me to it!

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : May 26th, 2024-20:05

Apologies for your bank account, my friend!😆

 
 By: Mach : May 27th, 2024-14:16

Well that’s ok this one is reasonable 😊

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : May 27th, 2024-14:21

The only difference is the sapphire instead of the plexy, but at least it is domed.

 
 By: amanico : May 26th, 2024-21:18

It share some design element with my recently added Longines Conquest i find but this one has an even stronger vintage vibe!

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : May 26th, 2024-22:24

Yep!

 
 By: amanico : May 27th, 2024-04:59

+1

 
 By: Mach : May 27th, 2024-14:17

Truly manages to capture the vintage charm 👍🏻👌🏻

 
 By: KMII : May 26th, 2024-16:35
You chose well 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Cheers, my friend!🥂

 
 By: Mach : May 26th, 2024-19:07

Congratulations Mach! I didn’t appreciate the lugs until now.

 
 By: hmd4m : May 26th, 2024-17:18

Thanks, my friend! Sometimes, it’s these small details we truly appreciate!🥂

 
 By: Mach : May 26th, 2024-19:21

I've seen Daos' in the metal . . .

 
 By: Dr No : May 26th, 2024-17:23
. . . and favorably impressed to the point where I feel a version should be in the running for our 25th anniversary watch. Art

Hehehe, you read in my mind!!!

 
 By: amanico : May 26th, 2024-17:24

Don Turo sees all, hears all, knows . . .

 
 By: Dr No : May 26th, 2024-17:28
. . . all.

I see!

 
 By: amanico : May 26th, 2024-17:35

You’re already looking into the future, Art! Hope all is well!🥂

 
 By: Mach : May 26th, 2024-19:24

Totally! Am in!

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : May 26th, 2024-19:37

Those lugs are super interesting! I’d put a custom strap on that bad boy.

 
 By: Larrykelley11 : May 26th, 2024-18:46

It’s in the works, Larry! Love to know what strap combo ADM Byrd’s piece had???

 
 By: Mach : May 26th, 2024-19:29
Having been in the U.S. Navy, I’m assuming a black colored strap!🤷

When you do, we want to see it.

 
 By: Larrykelley11 : May 26th, 2024-20:23

I want to see that!

 
 By: amanico : May 26th, 2024-21:17

Seems nice, but

 
 By: Ronald Held : May 26th, 2024-19:05
The Money Tree is uncooperative lately.

Fortunately, Ronald, it’s relatively inexpensive.

 
 By: Mach : May 26th, 2024-19:34
But emphasis on the term ‘relatively,’ my friend!🥂

So true (nt)

Well, at this price, I don't see anything better...

 
 By: amanico : May 27th, 2024-16:15

This is a beautiful watch. I have never seen it.

 
 By: gary_g : May 26th, 2024-23:58
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Gary! Enjoy Memorial Day!🥂
