So I finally got a tester to check on sapphire glass in reps. Surprisingly 2 of the last 4 I got have sapphire crystals, the U1 sub and the 116655. That's pretty surprising at these price points.

These are quite nice. 42mm, microstepper, Gold filigree dial and gold numbers on insert. Once polished and oiled the bracelet is surprisingly good. Case back is pretty close. Only real problem is that the bezel should be gold plate. I may fix that. Striking watch.

How's that Tag treating you a few months on? I have my eye on a bronze and brown on brown leather. I know they are running DG2813's so... you know... but that's a dang nice beater IMO. Do you remember who you bought yours through on DHG?

It is not a 2813, I don't know what movement it is but the hand sizes are strange and its got a weird construction. I had to rebuild the keyless after I took it apart and I've never seen that kind of movement. It has run fine but the bezel construction is pretty poor. I fixed all the issues with it, but most people would not be able to. Its a very pretty watch.

Seriously tempted. Yeah I would like more gold on it too, the blue dial one is a pretty looking watch.

Cool, I saw that on the Gate and was pretty impressed with it. Seiko VK movement is a nice touch. Pretty crack'n deal at just under $100. I've never been much on square watches but the Monaco is the exception. May have to scratch that itch one of these days.

I was pleasantly surprised today when this arrived in the mail. Wasn't expecting it for at least another week or two.

Total impulse buy when I ordered a Tag Autavia brown and bronze. Theoretically that should show up in a week as well.

Anyway, nice domed crystal with AR and applied indices for being so cheap. Ignore the hairy arms.
