: Lately, I have been reading a lot of the pieces that Chuck
: Maddox wrote, over the course of his prolific writing career.
: Through it all, and based on many conversations we had about all
: his "favorites", I am convinced that this was probably
: Chuck's favorite chronograph, certainly among the modern ones
: that can be worn as "go to" watches.

: So after all the reading, I just had to buy one for myself
: [seller's photo shown below].

: Through the first few days with the watch, I can report that it is
: absolutely awesome . . . massive dimensions but light and
: comfortable; timekeeping and operation are flawless; the
: bracelet is a work of art . . . When you really study the case,
: you realize that this one is a Speedmaster on steroids . . .
: notice the twisted lugs, in the style of the old Speedies.

: You can read what Chuck had to say about this one, here --
: http://chronomaddox.com/tzc889revisited.html . Yes, Chuck knew
: his chronographs!!
