Super Retro and Funky 70s Superjet Automatic - AS 2066

I wear this watch everyday. I just love the angular design with the TV style dial and the chunky steel baton indexes and stubby steel hands. Retro watches won't get more retro that this. It is always the conversation piece when people ask me about this watch and they always adore the design and jealous because they cannot buy this watch on the high street. Its super cool, super funky and its Superjet!
