+1...I actually did not know they were still making these. Hmmmmm....
Because nothing says "you're a loser" more than owning a motivational poster about being a winner.
Lovely, the possibilities are seeming endless and the willingness to customize really makes this a truly 'Italian' experience
Hi all, see my new thread - the Italian job
The Italian Job
Wow, I love the Fondale. The case is amazing, the only pain point are the hands. I think they are to short.

I'm currently wearing Jay's copper-dialed beauty on an olive drab NATO, and it looks awesome. I love, love, LOVE this watch. I'll take some pics over the weekend, but for now you'll just have to take my word for it -- this combination is the dog's bollocks. Like, wow...

Adam

I am included:
Has since been sold, but will get another.
Before you ask, the strap was made by Delaurian.
There seem to be two different hand lengths out there, mine look longer than shorinjikempos (below) as the hour hand touches the hour markers and the min hand the min markers

Here's an incredibly crappy shot of Jay's watch on the OD NATO:
You'll have to trust me on this one, it's an amazing combination.

PS - Interesting, Dan, I didn't know there were two different lengths for the hands...

Nor did I, but mine are definatly longer. Love the copper on Nato too.
Those longer hands should restore hope for some who like the watch but dislike the short hands you usually see on these.
