Thanks ubi. I'll admit this piece has been on my radar since day one, and I mean that literally. Years ago, before I ever heard of RWG1 (let alone a computer for that matter!), I bought an "automatic" rep day date on 34th St in NYC. Looking back, it was one of the cheapest reps ever, and came long before the rep quality improved to where it is now. However, I was a kid then, and thought the watch I bought was the best!
Times have certainly changed since then, but I never forgot my first rep. Now I have the real thing
Thanks Dizzy! I may keep it on the leather strap and 750 buckle for a while, although I am keeping my eyes open for a 18k rivet.
