he said 250, not 75. He can get something better (even though I'm a fan-and an owner).

Traser sounds good for this.

If your forearms are such that a Monster is "not too chunky" I prolly shouldn't be submitting this post.

Then again, I'm not scared.

Some of them do go for a bit more. You seen the new prices of the Astroavias?

CWC or Precista I'd say. Or how about one of the Hamilton Field watches?

I don't know whether to think MkII watches are bogus or homage, they have copied military watch designs from the 70's onwards (Benrus, Blancpain FF, Glycine etc) and in some cases make them with better features. The only one in the price range is a Rolex-a-like though, so I'll shut up now....
