Picked this up on another forum and for the most part was happy with it. Keeps great time and looks amazing. What I was not happy with was the cheap feeling bracelet that was loose with all the pins falling out and the sides of the case. Both sides of the case had deep gouges in it like it was rough brushed at one point and someone half assed polished it. I spent about 2 hours sanding and polishing the case and ordered a factory carbon/red strap and clasp (cost more that the watch) for it. For now I have a nice band and factory Heuer clap off one of my other watches on it.

Looks good, I think the red stitching on the strap will match pretty great with the red tip of the chrono and sub dials hands.

I took some better photos. Might sell this because it makes me want to buy a gen.
