My newest acquisition, bought this of a fellow forum member, and I'm very impressed! I really like the design and feel and It's becoming one of my most popular watches - I've already received a lot of great compliments. Paid $230 which including intl shipping from US to Aus. Great buy, and if you are interested, ive seen them on ebay for around $300-400 US.

Basically styled with the F1 grand Prix in mind, it's sleek and it stands out. The orange and black is a great combination IMO, and the chronograph is easy to read with up to 40 minutes of timing and 1/100th sec precision. Sapphire crystal with apparent AR. the crystal is so clear it looks like you can touch the dials. -100m water resistance means you don't have to worry about getting this wet. It's also quite thin, and easily fits under a business shirt. Titanium Carbon Nitride plated bezel - sounds cool:p.

Now for some eyecandy! Hope you like:)

Came with 2 boxes, inner and outer, inner box is nice and sturdy, and velvet is black with a blue trim.

The dial has sort of a carbon fibre look, with honeycomb texture, the subdials are silver and raised and have fine lines, similar to TAG Heuer Carrera subdials. The pictures don't quite capture just how vivid the orange hands are, but they amazing and bright and make the watch so much more appealing to the eye.

The strap has a nice feel, genuine leather and matches the watch perfectly. The orange stitching reminds me of the TAG Heuer Grand Carrera Cal 17 RS2 leather strap. The buckle is unbranded, but polished nicely.

Caseback is a screwdown, and has a nice design. Still has plastic protector.
