I've been wanting one of these for a while but the version I wanted was usually sold out, and when it wasn't they were usually not on sale and their going price has been a bit steep for me. But, luckily I happened to check my e-mail during half-time of the Superbowl and World of Watches sent me a flyer for a special sale they were having during half-time. They had a slew of watches on sale at half price..........and they had the one I had been wanting in there.
It's a Swiss Legend model #T8010-55 Tungsten Pro Chronograph. It has a 45mm case that is 14mm thick with a scalloped uni-directional bezel. The 22mm wide fully linked bracelet sports a push button dual-deployment clasp........and all of it is made from mirror polished Tungsten. Oh yeah!
This gives the watch some heft for it's size as well as real good scratch resistance.
Another nice feature of this watch is that the bracelet use no push pins......the entire bracelet is held together by double-ended threaded bolts............
The bracelet is even bolted to the case, no spring loaded pins here.
The red dial has a outer tachymeter scale ring and sports silvertone hour markers, hands, and subdials with luminous hands and markers and is topped by a sapphire crystal. The case also has a coined screw-in case back............
The heart of this watch is a Swiss made ETA G10.211 quartz Chronograph movement. The watch is 100 meters water resistant and has a screw-in crown. It took me a while to get this one sized to my wrist as the bolts holding all the bracelet links together were torqued quite tight from the factory and I broke two of my small watch screwdrivers trying to loosen them. But I did manage to get it done. It wears quite well, and I am glad the bracelet came with two smaller half-links for more accurate size adjustments.....
A very nice watch if I do say so, and a absolute steal for the $150 + free shipping that I got it for!!!!
