As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

How about this one? it doesn't look like the BCPD but has the function and I know you don't like dive watches but this seems to be an original design as opposed to a homage.

Yeah these are pretty nice. I have one myself.

That's a big no on a dive bezel.
Thanks for the suggestion though!

The more I see those without the pointer date (aka the whole point), the more I dislike them.

I get what you mean, it would be nice to have that... But they are still good looking pieces despite that I think.

Ochstin dress watch on a Vario strap. Ironically the strap cost about the same as the watch itself [emoji38]

That's a good looking watch.
(Of course it would look better without a date...)

You can't really complain too much for the price though. They are practically giving it away.
