I'm very, very exited about this latest NEW purchase, a piece of quality and finish plus some very usable extra's I did not expect for such a great price. 
This Chronos, from the Lugyou company, came in a simple small black box not very fancy, but locked with 4 click locks, no way it would unexpectedly open on transport. Packed in a big bubble envelop and on the inside padded with more bubblewrap and on the inside of the box with tissue around the actual case. Plus it came with two very useable tools, a screwdriver and a lug/strap tool, the latter even with the Chronos name on it! The watch itself is pre-patinated, I had to laugh to see even the fingerprint of the person handling it handling it on the bronze bezel inlay. It all is to be easily removed, but this is very nice bronze, with a red copper glow in it. Way better then the Sharkey tuna, which looks like old messing. It is even more red, then the Invicta which is also already pretty nice in color.
The watch itself is working excellent as expected, bezel is lined up perfectly and turns just excellent, not to light, not to difficult, size just excellent for me. I would like a signed crown but it's plain.The beautiful bronze is also used for the perfect made buckle, also pre patinated. I only had to remove the rubber strap (which seems to be decent quality) and put the nice thick, supple wild leather in it's place. It came as free extra with the watch and didn't have to find one extra. I would prefer a smooth leather brown strap as on my other bronze watches, but what the heck, this looks nice enough and feels good to me. I found out it is a 62MAS hommage, but always thought that was a more "edgy" watch, I love the fact they have used drilled lugs, which makes changing a strap much easier. Anyway, here are the pics!

Looks like a little less tin than normal in that metal mix. Now how many sculptures are not being made because of all these watches taking their bronze?  |

 Congratulations, Johan! That is a beautiful green dial. Love it! I'd just give it a quick polish to remove the patina, and then let it do it's thing just for me. Enjoy it!! |
