The socks do match the cat though which is an important consideration

Yes. And at night all socks are grey.

I suspect there will be some trouble with the chronograph functions. Case looks crisp and unpolished, though.
I am bothered only by the combination of black socks and brown pants.

Naw, I believe they are actually brown.

Say what you will about Lou's choice in watches, he is an impeccable dresser.

Here is an example, with respect to Lou's Privacy.

Well, I got over my reservations about the modern Primeros and finally pulled the trigger. And I have to admit, it is an arresting piece.

The case is particularly well done, with some very clean lines. It's a nice update of the original

Here's a closeup of the much bemoaned dial overlap. I've gotten over it.

My biggest reservation was the size...but the cat seems to like it

Anyone know where I can find a 250mm strap?



Happy New Year!

I think that's going to take a least a 300 mm strap. Very cool! You might want to take down the photos before Invicta gets wind of them.

This is base calumny. The socks are dark brown. It is important to me that the forum knows this.

Thank you. I appreciate the support.

The cat is concerned about the originality of the pushers and crown on that A386
Yes, but not me, I'll take what I can get.

Lou, did you bought also a CATERPILLAR for setting crown ? ;)

I'm sorry I'm late to this thread, but wow, what a great post Lou. I hope your cat is de-clawed, would hate to see scratches on that giant crystal. ;)

The cat is AWCI certified. How do you think I keep all these beauties running? She is simply buffing some scratches out of the crystal in that picture.
