Not keen on the bronze & the chrono dial is a bit busy.

Maybe the auto will look better, but 50mm case is huge & if that's + crown guard that watch is going to wear very very big.

I'm a big fan of Hamilton watches, have got one on today, but I dont like that.

I pinged something up about these when they first showed them, I think it was a post which included the PITA watch. (Actually it was here: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... )

The thing that interested me was using the bezel as a start/stop/reset for the chrono, which I thought quite novel - on the downside the size, the 'lost' chrono hands and the poor legibility of the dial plus the oversize crown (which should really be in either an asymetric or integral lug case and set at 4 or 10 o'clock) said they hadn't really thought about the design as seriously as I first thought. But I suppose that's what Sinns are for.

It does look different though and I still like the chrono setting bezel as an idea.
