Being just out of the dentist's chair, and sporting a fine new gold tooth, I made it back to work to find a box on my desk! I'm afraid I am unable to compete with all these creative types who write travelogue stories about their watches. So I'll just get ...  

. . . to find the best possible reason to smile ;-). Congrats, Mike, but be careful - if the cousins roll in the hay for too long, chances are you'll have a litter in no time! That's how collections start . . . best regards, Art This message has been edit... 

It's the user manual. No language translation needed, it's a cartoon graphic of how to care for the watch: Let me show you what I think it all means: I think this first page says you can take all the screws out whenever you wish, and watch the rotor spinn...

at least your handwritten letter is in english. when i got my greib & benzinger my handwritten letter was in german. not a lot of use in wales i must say the watch is not really to my taste, but thats the fun of watches, everyone is different. i look forw...

Mike: You've left out the black natural rubber strap from your MIH watch, which is the perfect alternative to the orange. BTW, if you wear the orange strap, you'll notice it quickly develops a very nice "patina". Cheers!

i'm not really a fan of Nato's on my own wrist, but there is no doubt that they change the look and feel of any watch. the plain black highlights the orange numerals without making them look too bright and the striped one highlights the fact that the dial... 

Great watch! Best, Gary G

I've enjoyed following different posts about the development of these timepieces and the concept of the company. Great watch!

whats the longer 'slot' indicate? Congratulations on what looks like a really nice watch. I think it looks really good on all the black straps, especially the swatch one and the nato. Vernon.

On Sunday night, the oval shaped orange day indicator travels across the long slot on its way to Monday.

It goes all the way from 8 to 1 in about 3 hours. I didn't stay awake enough to watch ... :-(...  

that it's the date mechanism on the standard ETA movement that's modified to achieve this? How are you finding the watch now you've been living with it for a few days? Is the size ok? I really like the watch - strikes me it's just as much a watch for adul...
