CoAx Speedy 44.25mm Auto COSC inner AR glassback

from the seller...

Amazing. Wears flat, much wider but similar height to the Sub. Very legible too, the batons are striking. The bracelet just flat embarrasses the Rolex flip-lock (what doesn't though). the dial is a flat black that err's to gray in the off light. I think I will source the enamel dial from Omega. The movement looks so much better in-person. It shines and oozes elegance. I'll have to work on a proper photo though.....

Zidane is the man, BTW.

Lovely watch! Very clean dial for a meter, it's easy to read as a watch but still totally useful as a timer

GZ, You are a 861 Tool and love to repeat someone else's anecdotal musings. On every single post you drag out your droll, and very strong, opinions about the FP movements.

I have learned to IGNORE ALL of your opinions.

your posts are a waste of time.

Too bad too, as you seem to know a couple things about watch's. All lost however, DIAF
