So I got this cool little package today (for my birthday) and since I've never seen this watch before I did a little investigation and find a site selling the watch I received.
http://www.minorva.net/prolist.asp?id=1140&protitle=CHRONOGRAPHE
The site sells on the bay as well, and I'm sure you can get them cheaper there.

It's a pam homage I'd say, with the wonderful St-19 manual wind movement and what I think is a PVD finish. Comes in a great little leather box where the watch actually fits! Which is unusual. Has a Pam like deployant and a comfy (what seems like) nylon strap. Over all I was impressed with the watch. Anyway it was really nice someone was thoughtful enough to give me this as a gift and I thank them. :wink:
Here are a few fast and shitty (Only way I know) pictures I took.

Nice watch, case is reminiscent of the PAM Ferrari series.

is the orange dial markings lumed? I like the black/orange combo and I while it looks great on the current strap I can't help but think (maybe 'cos it looks PAMish) it needs a big fat chunky strap :mrgreen:

edit: after I read the link, for a special price of $250 thats awesome. It's a great price for a gen and a st19 movement. Heck, All st19 reps are 2-300 afaik.

congratulations on the fine looking watch.

It is lumed in green. The lume is horrific. Not worth even trying to post. :lol:
I agree on the strap.
