Taking a much needed break from rolex to go after a racing icon. Arrives in the morning from one of our great trusted sellers. Pics to follow. Have a great night.

You sir did not need a better hint as you nailed it. My first tag. I was looking for a chrono with rich racing history and some wrist presence. Should add further diversity to my collection as well. First automatic chrono, first water resistant square case, worn by many racers in the day, and there is that guy named Steve McQueen as well.

It was a “Crystal Blue Persuasion” moment! Great product placement.

Looks great. I’ve been mulling over one for years and never pulled the trigger. Looks great on you. What’s the thickness like?

My next purchase but the blue with crown on the right side.

Looks the bees knees. Good choice!

Thickness and fit seem great thus far. Love the folding clasp strap for making minute adjustments.

Highly recommend. I went with this ref as it closely resembles the original back in '69.

Only thing I realised when trying on is that the date window is tiny. Do you think the same?

Cool watch. I have tried various ones on over the years but have never bought one. It is on the list.
