. So obviously the usual "no affiliation" disclaimer does not apply here. However, I'll also point out that I was a fan of Trintec products long before becoming affiliated. And it goes without saying that I will do my utmost to keep this review honest and objective.
being The Originator of the Cockpit Instrument Style Watch, I am perfectly serious. Despite the fact that 
usually gets (and takes!) credit for the design, they were most definitely not
the first to produce and market this style of wristwatch. I first put
forth this notion on the PMWF, in February of 2006, and no one seemed to
take it seriously. No surprise, as it was mostly conjecture - I had no
hard documentation at that point. But now I do.

I re-shot these photos a couple of days later, on a sunny day but, ironically, they didn't turn out half as well as these. 
Hard to beat the diffuse light of a cloudy, yet reasonably bright day!
8215 movement.
Go ahead, I'll wait.
Now, consider that when you're wearin' a Trintec you have a watch with a
true pedigree. From THE original manufacturer of this iconic style.
Despite the 
price of the Bell & Ross, it can't match Trintec in that regard.

Re: ..I have no homages either. A gaping hole in your collection, Bro. dano, a Gaping Hole!
The style is not for everyone. But then what style is?
"De gustibus non disputandum est." Me personally, though, it was Love At First Sight.

I was away when this was posted and neglected to comment - another excellent review Ricky I particularly like the lume shot! These are really nice watches.

Very nice! I thought I'd already mentioned this, but >>> a couple of searches reveals that I must have never actually posted it. Anyway, I hadn't realized the new one was a mechanical until you posted the review. Is this Trintec's first foray into using mechanical movements? This is the one I'd get from that series, the cockpit clock version.

Re: I hadn't realized the new one was a mechanical until you posted the review. Oops.
It is, yes.

 , I do believe that's Bro. flasharry's favorite model, too.
