Just over USD3k. Remarkable really.

Very good, then. Maybe this will help you forget the rough times you experienced with other watch people in the recent past.

BTW, more pics please

Good to hear! I am contemplating if I should send in my Duometre for service. But I was told it's a 5 to 6mths wait.

Wishful thinking my friend! Too much damage caused to be rectified by one good service experience!

You must have a very strong wrist/arm to wear that! Do you have to swap it to your other wrist during the day to get a break?

Now I just have to find out what "EOT" means in this context. As an IT guy I can only think of "End of Tape" or "End of Transmission"

I just walk round in circles if it stays on the same wrist.
