I like to see more then a dial image. Front, sides, case back front and inside views both! And the money shot which is the movement. The front pic of a watch really tells me little. It could be the Mona Lisa and have a rusted up movement that is shot. Give use everything to go by to evaluate a watch properly and it will make it much easier.

From the pics it looks ok, nothing that seems out of the ordinary

I think it will look better in real life

They talk about it in the correct books that come with it.

Wayne - so it's correct? Any specific interest in this, or just a minor variant?

I believe that the books are NOT correct for this watch. Red tip sweep is not correct. Joke WAS correct.
