It makes sense he would do it this way having come up with so many dot-in-hole displays for the Ochs & Jr line. HERE IS THE WEBSITE Now do I need another one? It is kinda big... And the crystal is very reflective! ...  

Beautiful Watch

I am on the fence with this one… it is a rather interesting watch which was first released years back. Will it be delivered with the same packaging as before ?

You mean wrapped in a newspaper?

in a cheap cardboard box? This was 16 years ago for me, my first MIH. I got a second one later from Toren Smith, a well-known anime cartoon guy. but I sold it off to my friend Alec, a Scottish, whiskey-drinking, two-wrist watch collector. ...

A few things. I didn't like having to run the chrono in order to get a funcional seconds hand. And having the minute accumulator on the back rendered the chrono function pretty useless. And the date changes at midnight *and* noon were to me an annoyance. ... 

If I didn't already own the orig. piece from '08, I'd be grabbing this for sure!

Love the upgraded 30 min counter dial side, that is actually practical, rather than what is on my piece ;-) Cheers, Tim
