So after my recent return of a Steinhart Ocean One Vintage Red due to my aversion to scratches, broken clasp springbars and lose, falling out bracelet pins, combined with the words "Nearly new condition", I had a bit of an itch to scratch.
Then I saw this:
Got it for a bargain price, brand new with tags and protectors in place and full warranty.
It's an ETA 2878 movement, 43mm case and display case back. I'm quite pleased with it, although I will be flipping something to make room so watch out in Sales Corner.
Should be with me tomorrow so review and piccies over the weekend

Nice watch, will look good on a range of straps. Looks suitable for outdoor adventures
I miss all the great things that may never be.
