Very blue watches

[eccles]

This jewel arrived from Japan yesterday. Who'd have thought Casio make posh watches! It's a glorious thing, really well finished and the pictures really don't do it justice.

Been thinking of pulling the plug on one of these beauties for a couple of years now, it’s very blue and retro.

I’ve had my eye on a Straton for a while. I fancy the auto in that colour but I keep talking myself out of it…

Great looking things. If you do get one, please post details - I’d be very interested

What does the lettering between 6 and 9 mean? Makes it look unbalanced. Otherwise not too shabby

It's radio controlled, blue tooth connectivity, world time and solar powered. The second hand moves to different letters for different functions.

That Casio is very classy.

The finishing on the case is brilliant. I put it next to my Longines and my Tudor and it doesn't look out of place. I love the way the indices float above the dial . It really is a cracking watch for the money.

Where did you get it from? Japanese import...?

I have an older Straton:



Sorry for the not-great photo. Sun is just coming up here and the sun shades are keeping what is out isnt making it into my office. However, it should show what it is. Its meaty in weight, quality in construction and has been robust. This is the hybrid model with quartz and automatic movements so its tall. But very pleased with it and its been a good watch. Have been looking at another to add to the collection.

And yes, I know that the time and date is wrong - the battery ran out a couple of months ago and I havent had the chance to replace it yet. But overall, I recommend Straton watches - its been a good one!
