After weeks of indecision, I finally decided to go for it:
Desert Hawk
Dan Byers purchased the same watch recently (albeit on a bracelet), and his positive post helped make up my mind. As did, to a somewhat lesser extent, Florida Sam's report on his version. But mainly 'twas the fact that I got it at a grrrr8 price. Lotsa watch for $42, I think! Of course, even after I made up my mind to fire, I still had to choose 'tween the bracelet and strap versions. In the end, despite Dan and Sam's raves on the bracelet, I chose the strap. To my eyes the strap is better match for the classic lines of the case, and even for the -on-crack ( ) dial. The fact that the bracelet version was nearly twice the price may have influenced me, too.
So now the wait begins. It's shipping from, of all places, Italy. Dan and Sam for your help!
Follow the link to read the original thread (and to see pics of the front of the watch ).
