Question: Shouldn't the Trident and the writing be pointing up like how the Makaira is? I guess it don't make a difference but... :o. The Makaira is a screwed down back, which means it can always be put in the same position. The Trident is a screw on back which means it will be in a different posit...

Re: 2013 FLE Progress Report #19 Summary and Evolution

I think the stock strap did it no favours in terms of sales. And the photos on the website were not very flattering at all. A great watch in the flesh.

Re: 2013 FLE Progress Report #19 Summary and Evolution

I received mine today in the USA! This watch looks much, much better in the flesh. Now I may have to hold off on the EXP II polar dial. :thumbup:

Re: 2013 FLE Progress Report #18

I'm staying with the twin roll strap. I will purchase a different style on my own. Gator strap is too expensive(IMO) and I will probably pay some heavy custom duties if I were to purchase it with the watch.

Maybe your abacus is malfunctioning. Do you want me to ship mine to you for a small rental fee? :lol:

Talk me through your thinking on why it is ridiculous to compare the serial number situation with Omega, don't they produce limited editions?
