Okay, thanks. Now the question is: blue dial or black dial, or both!?
Interesting that the black dial is more expensive; wonder why?

Heck, you could get the salmon dial and save a couple bucks more!

Ordered the black dial. And that will make two Alphas, both of which
are experiments, not intended for extended use.

I wanted the Triple Date just to see what that would be like, and
discovered that a triple date watch is indeed a good thing, though
potentially confusing. The date chapter is easily confused with the
minutes chapter, unless some care is taken to differentiate them.
Otherwise, a nice complication.

I want the Explorer to see what that's all about. I expect instant
readability at a glance, and if the lume is decent, that readability
will persist in low light, as well as darkness. Or so I imagine. The
Explorer has no complications at all, no date, day, etc. I'll see how
not having that on my wrist works out.

And I expect to take the TZ watch school this winter, and will include
an LG case opener and Openall, which will allow me to get into the
Alphas. So if they pack up promptly I will have projects to work on
that will be essentially disposable if I screw up.

Meanwhile, I'm waiting for a TJMaxx to open right here in my home town
and offer a nice variety of Hammy chronos that no one will buy and I
will be able to pick up at $139.00US each off the close out table.

Still waiting... lol!!!
