    With an initial wind and some gentle handling intermittently thereafter (still in protective plastic and unsized), it's running dead-on.

    Life is short. How sad to have realized in your death bed that you've worn a crappy watch as a "daily beater" for most of your days.

    Not a new arrival, but it is my first pic of it. Wore it all day today and I really am digging it. The watch seems to be well proportioned. I wish it were a little thinner to wear with a cuffed shirt but it was not too much of a problem.

    Re: Raven Vintage

    Great pics guys...#75 arrives tomorrow here in SoFla.....

    I really like the Raven name and logo; as much as I probably lean a little more towards the styling of the Steinhart Vintage sub with the sword hands, I could never get over the name and cheesy looking logo.....just me. I always felt the same way about Ocean7 too....Just the typical quirks of a WIS with an emphasis on the "i" I suppose!

    Well, to give Steinhart their due, the name is actually the last name of the owner and not some anonymous made up name. Some may suggest it is a bit egotistical to name your company after yourself, but on the other hand if you put out a crap product it's your family name getting trashed.

    No argument there, but the logo "S" is still a little cheesy looking and unfortunately it sounds a little too much like "Steinhausen", the king of cheesy, Chinese magazine ad watches here in the U.S. (and the reason they were originally rebadged Debaufre here in the US)

    BTW, 2 Ravens already hit the sales forums, Johnny's (Powerband) being one of them.....ez way to save a couple of bucks if you are on the fence!

    I have to agree about Steinhart. I have owned two of their watches and the quality is superb and value - especially pre-owned - is tremendous, but for some reason their logo irritates me. In addition, when I tell people the name, they associate it with the major sports memorabilia dealer.

    On a related and more pertinent note, I picked up Johnny's (Powerband) Raven and am looking forward to checking it out in person!
