great to hear this turned out to be a win-win!!

Any chance you can get the Kobold used? Save some money and use it to pick up a rep or two?

I think that's the overlay...from all the obvious tells I've heard of it's a gen ETA

The majority of Movados use Quartz movements...as the majority of Movados don't have second hands so you really can't tell

Movado is weird...as By-Tor said... I've got a Museum watch since it's a de facto dress watch and my father owns an 1980s solid gold Museum piece in his collection...the bracelet is amazing...someone remind me to scrounge up a pic of the old man wearing it... They're like Raymond Weil sort of...idk, Movado collaborated with Zenith on the El Primo (From what I recall) and made some really cool watches but they've stretched themselves so far as a brand that they really can't be taken seriously anymore... sad.

I say AR it and polish those midlinks to a mirror finish!! ...Oh wait, we're not discussing the damned sorcery Rolex uses on the GMTII cyclops?

Interesting...similar in size...do you like the chrono features compared to the GMT (IE- do you need a chrono?) ?

That looks awesome Ronin!

Ha...and I'm no IT person...not by any stretch of the imagination! Installing / using Ubuntu however gives on a "Crash course" in linux (albeit- a very, VERY light crash course...boutique linux if you will- no command line or any of that.)

Such a sweet watch... enjoy!

If the laptop is older it may not support USB booting... I'd download and burn the "Ubuntu Live" CD from Ubuntu and try that...it's a tad slower but still works... Alternatively, if you wanna try the Flash method: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick

It's a lovely watch and GP is certainly a very under-rated (IMHO) brand with some amazing innovations and a storied history! Their new constant force escapement will be awesome I'm sure! I'm still waiting on my newest "fun" piece, a vintage GP, to arrive...should be here Monday or Tuesday at the latest

I personally run both Ubuntu and Windows7 (don't shoot) and I like them both....Ubuntu does have a bit of a learning curve but it's not too bad...it's probably one of the most "user friendly" linux distros... As to OpenOffice- I personally live in Excel, Access, and PowerPoint for work and I do not like the OpenOffice suite as much as I like the Office suite. That being said- OpenOffice is a great open-source alternative. As to Outlook v. Thunderbird - again, I personally prefer Outlook but Thunderbird is a great client. Firefox vs IE however- there's really no contest- Firefox is the better browser hands down...even on a Windows-based netbook. The best thing to do would be to download OpenOffice, Thunderbird, and Firefox on your computer right now...they're all open-source and free so you can get a feel for them right on your current setup before you make a decision to switch. http://www.openoffice.org/ http://www.firefox.com http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/

No problem...just paying it forward (as LordRasta- who seems to have been absent for some time- said in a wonderfully worded post)

Smc said it perfectly- with the 1120 in that particular dial color (or my lovely 2255 like his!) you can't go wrong... great price on a great gen!

Come to Boston! They're playing at Fenway this summer...I might snag advance seats myself with AmEx!

Not nec... you need to be smart, do your research, and buy from established, trusted sellers. Thanks! Antsy to get it...

Sweet ride!

A reply from Desmond: As suspected. Remember: it's a jungle out there!!

Watch a video of it in motion. Find me something else like it. QED Edit to add: amateur video

Oh that watch is so freaking SWEET !!!!

No....just switch to Irish Coffee

Wow...did not know that! I'll edit my post...thanks O/S!
