What a beast!
Benrus Type I sterile. A Watch I didn't wear for a while, with few wrist shots.
It was time to give it justice.
Intriguing, powerful, with a captivating simplicity, this Benrus is a superb summer companion, too.
Best,
Nicolas

A powerful beast indeed
A strong presence on the wrist. And I love the rooftop blue sky shots. Would love to see close ups of the "beast". Would edge you closer to a historic 70000 ! Dean

Finally I have added the Benrus Type I Sterile to my small collection.
It took a while to land on a nice to keep the other company. Yes I know a few too many but who is counting. Bill ...
I had to kiss many frogs to find one.
So the collection of Benrus as usual is to corner the market. Why stop at one when you can have 4. Ahhh. I need to thin down the collection too many duplicates. Bill
