At last...the Magrette chronographs!!!

Hmmmm...Remind me of the RXW Plasmir Milgraph but at cheaper price.

Same, but birthday day for me.

I wanted 13, but that was taken. Then I asked for 413, but the first batch is only to 250. So 86.

13 is undoubtedly the first to go...aside from 8 and maybe 7 I guess.

Well, I can't help that I was born on the 13th.

I was able to dig up a couple of good reading about the ST 1901 movement used in the new Magrette Chronographs:

Another inside look: the Seagull 1901

Precista PRS5 Chronograph review from Watcharama

I think both of the chrono models are handsome watches and offer alot of watch for the money. The sapphire caseback movement view is fantastic. I ordered the Regattare. There is a comment in the Precista review quoted above that I find very reassuring, "The first thing to note about the movement is just how smooth it is to wind. It truly has that ‘like butter’ feeling that is often used to describe the winding action of good manual winding watches."
I like manually winding my watches so hearing that the seagull is a smooth winder is awsome. I can't wait to try it out.

I think the PVD chrono teamed with a black Isofrane will be awesome. Not so keen on the brown leather supplied, but that's just me being picky.

I wish Isofrane would come up with a red version.

I spoke to Dion, when they are ready to ship you can specify the black strap with red stitching that the Moana Pacific Diver came on. :)

I found some sweet 24mm NATOs from Panatime that are long enough for my wrist (12" instead of the standard 11", which aren't long enough to fold over properly for me) which will end up on the Magrette when I get it. Bond first, probably.

Nice. Come to think of it, the PVD chrono will also go nicely with the stock rubber strap from the Moana Pacific Diver. So many options!
