    nice @Matt my question would be, sapphire? (as always), and I'd take the blue (as always), certainly not the red, but the yellow could also be nice (on you)

      It is a sapphire crystal, and the bands are quick release with additional colors other than blue, red and yellow available. Black is one of them. Here’s a pic of the lume…

        That lume is pretty rad, even if it's missing on the seconds hand 😃
        definitely has a 70's era feel

        How exactly are the bands quick release? If it limits the use of other aftermarket straps I'd probably be a hard no on it. I've never found a silicone or rubber strap I liked other than the Isofrane.

          Classic spring bar so I’d think it’s broadly compatable.

                @Matt I don’t know if it helps but these watches are available at a discount with a UK retailer

                  @IrishHeart awesome, thanks. There are some new ones on eBay for $700 so I’ve got my eyes on them.

                    @Matt I would go along to a dealer and try all three on. Sometimes the colour you think that you'd like is actually duller in reality, and the one that you discounted is actually awesome. I'd also figure out what strap colours you're interested in and choose accordingly.

                    But at first glance, I'd be tempted by the blue because of the colour in the carbon case.

                    Beyond that, it looks a fun watch. It's got its own, distinctive aesthetic. The Powermatic movement is a modified ETA, so pretty reliable, accurate, and easy to get serviced. And it's got a decent (300 metres) water resistance.

                        Despite that connection I like that as well.

                            The blue may win out as there is one on eBay with a VERY low bid currently. If it stays that way I could double the bid and still get it for half price. 🤞
