    Thanks for the link for omega.

    I really like that skyhawk. Does it have an alarm clock? I think the promaster does. Is it a saphire crystal?

    Ain't that the truth. Chris is totally correct on this point. 7750 movements are no joke to repair or service. I inquired about a repair a few years back and just ended up trashing the watch.

    Great thread, btw.. I've been lurking but read every post. Thanks Chris!

    I dunno Chris, a watch designed to honor a mathematician? You have to admit, it's a little quirky.

    However, if you DO decide to give it away, PM me. I have a soft spot for Oris watches. :)

    Chris, I know you had mentioned in the past that you were not able to get Welder watches yet...has that changed? I'm interested in a K24 3201, stainless case, black face with orange hands.

    Thanks in advance, Noel.
