this is a very, very handsome watch..

from an era not so long ago. I think the light AM logo is nice and stealthy - only for those who know what its all about. Love everything about the design from case size, dial layout & colour to the cross sub-second dial. Thanks for showing this to remind how it was back then. /W72

True. Same with the Amvox II P. Now, for me, the fact it is discrete is a good thing. [nt]
