Picked up a new Madison limited edition. "A what?" you say. Madison is handmade by a local Denver watchmaker. Mine is 6 of 28 worldwide. He makes everything excpet the movement which he modifies from an ETA/Unitas manual wind. The case size is 42mm. It came with a black band so I installed the tan.

 

its nice...not really my cup of tea though...how much does something like this run ya?

 

I don't know how much did the watch cost you. But had I been the owner of a rare, limited edition watch with only 28 units made, I would keep it in its original state and not modify anything with it.

 

The ones I've found are VERY reasonably priced. Great looking piece, the back reminds me of a Philippe Dufour.

 

are you sure that isn't a swatch???? ....

 

By and large, if it's not made in Switzerland, some timepieces really get the shaft. . . but their lack of rep by some snobs can be your gain (as is seen here).

Good choice. I like the Model #3 myself.

 

looks like a watch for older crowd

 

Man, the more I look at that, the more I want one. I think if my car sells, I'll have to try to pick one up. Was it hard to get ahold of? I'd imagine with that low of a price and so few made, they'd have to sell very quickly.

How long until you get bored with it and sell it?

 

try the internet - not hard to find at all.

They look OK. It is clear the guy buys standard cases and doesn't put a whole lot into anything but decorating the movements, but he isn't asking tons of money for them, either, so that's cool.

 

go to china or hong kong and you'll find tons of them
