SBDX012 arrival - some pics to start

[mikeylacroix]

Good looking piece. Dang its a tall piece. Very toolish but super retro cool too.


I have it now on a red stitched rubber strap..wonder what it would look like on a super engineer?




caseback very nicely done

solid workmanship overall, lume pip is recessed..bezel clicks cleanly with some slight back play
crown screws in nicely but doesn't catch by going anti clockwise?

domed crystal+high rehauts+sloped chapter ring makes for a very 'deep' dial.






the gold is very nice



brushed hands reminds me of the SBGx115's


red pip is a nice touch





nuclear lume




enjoy

*here's a different look

Congrats Mike! Only day two with mine, but it may be, dare I say, a keeper?

[Joeprez]

Very nice, congrats! I actually like it a lot on the strap... good contrast between the gold accents and the black rubber.

[mikeylacroix]

I am inclined to agree jeff...its a looker for sure. I am wondering about strap combos for it...

[jswing]

I actually really like it on the OEM rubber so far, haven't been tempted to adjust the bracelet or try other straps yet. Maybe a BC natural rubber at some point. I also think it'd look great on a nato, but I don't want to wear off the serial #..

Congrats.

I'm not familiat with this one. It's a MM300 LE?
What are the differences with the MM300 besides the gold hands?
I liked theMM300 I owned even if it was a tall watch as you pointed out.
Case is amazing.

yep brice. this one is 408 out of 1000.

besides the gold hands..the bracelet has diashield treatment
and probably just some overall improvements in finishing?
that and a kickass gold keeper on the oem strap.

By the electrolytic treatment anodized material, a surface treatment for generating the artificial oxide film. Color is born by the refractive index of the light..."

Sailcloth with gold stitching?

Red stitch no...gold stitch yes!!!

[toxicavenger]

I would try it on a yobokies bor.

[jln319]

Really like the gold stitch sail cloth. It would look great on this watch. Wish he made it in an XL...

[ezcheese]

badass

[AtomicTom]

Boy Mike, this one's something to see ! The retro design you talked about,
as well as the quality couldn't be nicer. ..Love that height too ! You can
feel the awesomeness from here sir. Yowza, and the gold touches add
such a neat touch as well.

Seems mean, but ridiculously refined, and flawless. ..Check out the shape
of the case-back ! Incredible !!! Congratulations Mike !

[hidden by leaves]

[dukerules]
