face to face with 5101G
I must say the blue sun burst dial is super stunning, there is no comparison between pictures and the real thing. With a price tag like this I find it strange that it comes only with a tang buckle.

I agree with your comments about the watch,
it is stunning. However, with the price of that it does not make much difference if you buy a folding clasp separately. Best, Kari
Actually, in general, I find the pin buckle more comfortable.

I do appreciate all comments mention above
First of all i must clarify that I am not the owner of this lovely watch, it belong to a good friend of mine. Regards to the comments of folding buckle, I personally feels that it is essential to have it there not just for the purpose of looking good, but...
