    Thanks guys. The white dial and blued hands make it a standout. One of my favourite Diastars.

    Seems that particular Swatch service center did a wonderful job and I'm glad it did, because the watch deserves it.

    I wish my local Swatch SC learned how to be so consistent, because they often go from nice to catastrophic. The good news is they are slowly improving.

    That looks like a delicious shiny sweet. Good work Swatch, and good work Henry for your photography skillz.

    Looks so sharp! I like that shade of blue.

    I've used Swatch Canada three times now. My first experience with them was when I smashed my ceramic D-Star to bits and they fixed it under warranty in two weeks. Awesome! Then I bought the T-Lord for a fraction of the new price from an ex-AD. It had an issue with the chrono function and they fixed in about three weeks under warranty. And then this. I have nothing but praise for them. Also they are friendly and not afraid to tell you they don't know, but will find out.

    Thanks gents. I've written it already, but I'll write it again. I am delighted to have this back and to have come back looking a lot better than when it left.

    I would second that. I think that it is the prettiest watch I have ever handled.

    As you know I would also have the 40 Years Of Diastar and probably the 50 Years Of Diastar on that list as well.
