Far and wide I will find 'em and I ride 'em
Bricks and mortar get my licks just for kicks
AD or authorized I don't analyze
Retail, wholesale never fail
Online or offline, I find I don't redefine
Too big to fail or yard sale they all hale
Run or hide just for fun deals I find

Interesting it's offered as a bullhead and standard. Only one case size for the standard, though, which means the mecha-qz is 16mm thick.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

I had been very interested in the bullhead until I read the Timebums review. That profile is just too much for me.
%99 of people do not notice or care whats on your wrist. All that matters is that YOU like what you see.

Quote: 'Now, if you are one of those people who (like me) always feel as if your watch is traveling to the outer part of your wrist bone, the Bullhead will exaggerate the sensation. This was most apparent when wearing the taller, heavier mechanical watch. When I wore the MechaQuartz it barely registered. Bear in mind, this was on my smallish wrist. Bigger folks will wear that mechanical bull better. '
