Plus one Heritage model with an SW300 for 369.08 after the codeCapture7.JPG

I was beginning to wonder about the fate of the Eterna line, I guess it's going to be ok

Well I was also hoping that the links got fixed, maybe I wan't paying attention to how to make them work....I guess just go to Ashford and type in Eterna in the search bar...

Does someone own Eterna Tangaroa 7753 moonphse chrono? Could you please provide measurements and maybe a wrist shot?
Specifically lug to lug, lug width, watch height.
Ashford has really weird info. Please?

Here's the only wrist shot I could find...



Some other shots on the following page confirming 20mm lug width, also specs 51mm height and 14mm thickness:

Here's a great shot of the Eterna Tangaroa 7753 on bracelet (gray dial version pictured):

I tried this code CRR107JU that @peskydonut mentioned a few posts back on the eterna heritage and it took 10% off knocking it down to $360. Might be a slightly better way to go if you're getting one of the eternas posted above.

Just know that this is the ALUMINUM variant, not the stainless steel. It WILL dent very easily compared to its steel counterpart. (From the way it looks, more likely that it's 6061 grade aluminum vs. other superior grades such as 7075 or 7068)

(not a specific resply to Nsjong, more of a general comment)

I have no idea what the real world durability of this Hamilton is but if their aluminum is 6061 grade then based on the lashing my mountain bikes have taken, this watch will have no problem with what my wrist throws at it! I totally get that the tubing on my bike is different than this watch but I think the any concerns about this denting like a Coke can are probably unfounded. The anodized case will scratch though and won't be easy to refinish if that's your thing. I think for a field watch a few scratches will be fine.

Also remember that Apple Series 5 Smart Watch is aluminum as well. Aluminum is not a recent innovation for watches just not commonly seen.

White Adventic Automatic at Ashford that I missed when I posted the whole darn inventory last night/// Thank you BATMAN and @peskydonut for posting the CRR107JU, which I had missed last night and my oversight cost me a few dollars....poor due diligence I guess....

$323.10 after the proper 10% code... this one is kind of a sleeper to me, always avail at the lowest price, and looks even better in person

Another big time sleeper is this black dial Eternity Chrono (Quartz, 10 jewel not the astounding 27 jewels of the Kontiki chrono for less than 300)
This one looks ok in the file photo, but I searched for some user photos and found some at chrono24, the profile from the side make me go for this one, and at $179.10 it's pretty darn affordable. I think they have it in gold PVD also

Also, in case anyone is not aware, it appears to me that thos pics on Ashford of a beige dial Tangaroa 3 hander and Chrono on bracelet and one on leather, those are inaccurate, it is the grey dial by the part number, and oddly last night they were all grey dial even the thumbnail, they seem to have changed overnight...

Missing out on the Kontiki Date Pointer hurts me.... deeply.

If it makes you feel better I was going to buy it but then I saw it was the 44mm not the 42mm version

[AceRimmer]

I think this is the cheapest I have seen a Tangaroa. From an ebay seller with decent rating.

You passed on a watch I would have bought in a heart beat. Not feeling better.....

I'm hurting too. But I think the listed 44mm dimension is incorrect as there is a Russian video floating around showing that it measures 42mm using calipers... It was posted here a couple weeks ago.

That kontiki for hander was a great deal. I almost bought it when it was posted for $699 recently even though I own the older 4 hander.

Fighting strong temptation for that Tangaroa moon phase right now. [emoji43]

Most sites have the dimensions at 42. This older sales listing has it at 42mm as well
