I'm not sure anybody will have an opportunity to buy this model since it was the last available, not counting a red and black of the same style.  It is a fantastic sturdy watch and just gorgeous for a team fan from Oregon State, as well as just in general.  It has that utilitarian retro style which sort of reminds me of a dial on a stove top...and that just rocks.  The band is sturdy, thick, and yet not chafing.  All that you'd expect from a more sportsman-like or casual watch.  Good for everyday situations and has a nice water resistance depth.
