In July 2014 the monthly watches-dealer giveaway watch was a Marvin Origin Gent Automatic, and the lucky winner was Mark N. After receiving the watch, he has sent us some pictures and the thoughts below. We thank Mark, and everyone else who participates in watches-dealer watch giveaways.I have loved the various giveaways that watches-dealer has offered over the years and I participated in them with some regularity. Sometimes I even found myself forgetting and kicking myself for missing some of the nice giveaways. As time went on, I more or less resigned myself to the thought that I just wasn't going to ever be the lucky winner. I was quite surprised to receive the email from Ariel informing me that I had won the Marvin Origin Gent watch.First and foremost, I want to thank Ariel Adams, the blog staff, and the Marvin Watch Company for this nice giveaway.

Radiomir help please

However, I'm lost with all the model numbers past and present. Hoping someone can help.What I'm looking for (don't know if it was even made) is a straight plain dial hours/minutes only, solid caseback, ETA based movement, and I prefer a sausage dial to a sandwich.I've found the 210 and 380, but neither has everything I'm looking for, but they are close. Is there a Radiomir model out there like this?Also I have a dozen or more straps for my 005 - even though I understand the Radiomir straps are tapered would any of my existing straps work in a pinch? I kinda think they might not with the Radiomir wire bars and stainless tubes in my existing straps.Appreciate any assistance and thanks!
