That is a good looking chrono. The dial looks just right. :thumbup:

I like the dial, but not so keen on the shiny/brushed bracelet. Looks smart though.

Cheers,
Jack.

I didn't expect that when I clicked i.e. last time I looked, Boschett was 100% divers.

Nice watch overall, but not 100% sure about the 'super cup' font/colour

I agree, stunning watch and great presentation as always with ( their watch boxes are one of the best around IMHO!), the only thing I don't really like is the super cup logo but the watch as a whole is a stunner!

That's a rather swish watch. Nice price too.

Do you have the rubber strap as well? It looks good on the website, what's like in reality?

I'm not liking the different detailing on the subdials ~ it just doesn't come together for me

Nice model quite different to the usual stuff Boschett do. I quite like their Reef Ranger model. Out of interest, did you import this model from the US and if so were you hit by any extra customs charges?

Hi there two answers
1. Yes comes with optional rubber strap which is very good quality
2. Imported from the states via fed ex and yes had to pay 20% vat but was expecting that anyway!

A lot of watch for the money though!!

Cheers

Nice looking watch Neal, i had the Cave Dweller and they're a real solid well made watch. Well done on getting a Boschett thats not the usual divers style.
