Always wanted one of these and at this price and specs I couldn't pass it up. I also get one of my favorite dial colors. Not going to get a Stuhrling later this week but I think I picked up a better quality watch anyhow. Thanks for looking.

Bounced this sucker around all day long. Did I want this or did I want a Stuhrling. Well if the Stuhrling was on a bracelet and had a better movement imo I may have held off but this yellow dial and movement at under $300 seemed to be a winner. Thanks bud.

Rob I was thinking about that one too. I just wanted to stay under $300 which blows my spending money for the rest of this month probably. I have always wanted a Vulcan and a Cyclops now all I have to do is grab a Vulcan sometime.

If you can scratch it out the auto Cyclops would be a nice pick up.

I think you bought the right watch. If I wasn't flat busted, that's the one I would have gotten (probably salmon, I don't have a salmon yet)>

I think you'll like it a lot. Is that your first 2824-2? If so, you are in for a TREAT. It's a GREAT movement. Butter smooth sweep.

Congrats!

I actually purchased the ETA 251. I didn't have enough funding for the 2824 auto. I don't have the ETA 251 in my collection currently......well I guess I do now.

Renato...there is nothing sweeter then a Renato with a Yellow dial.

Oops, I'm mistaken there is nothing sweeter then a Renato with a Blue dial.

Yellow is second!

Oops, I'm mistaken again. After the Blue dial comes the Brown dial.

Yellow is third!

Oh heck, really cool watch. :%:%
