Okay. If you read the Invicta forum, I've been telling people that my watch buying was on hold until my Hamilton from Sam's Club came back from the Service Center with a new battery, courtesy of Sam's Club.
Well, night before last, I decided that I was tired of the lines and contours of the "modern" watches and that I wanted to find watches with the body features of watches from the sixties, or thereabouts.
So I searched Amazon high and low and found nothing in my price range, not even an Invicta Vintage.
Well, today I went into Sam's Club to check on my Hamilton, when i saw a watch with contoured look I was looking for and it was a chronograph to boot.
It was an ESQ (how do you pronounce that?), and it was about $60 above my usual cutoff price and a good $70 above the cost of the Hamilton.
Well, I just could not resist, regardless of the strain it might put on the budget.
Yes, this watch has modern features: the large date windows at the 12 o'clock position, a Swiss Quartz movement, etc., but there is also the contours I mentioned above and the gently curved mineral crystal.
I may also be able to afford the Hamilton when it comes in, too.
I'm not the best photographer, but here's some pix.
Comments regarding ESQ are welcome--positive and negative.
The texture of the watch face is not clear in these reduced images, but this feature also adds to the beauty of the watch face.
