  I really dig that watch. It has the same Seagull movement as the 1963, doesn't it?

 
I don't know what the 1963 is, but here is the movement of the Magrette.

Impressive!!  Yes, it does!
 
Rick, the watch in question is the The Seagull 1963.  Both it and your watch use a Seagull cal. ST19, a manual wound bi-compax chono movement - and an unbeatable value at a mere <$400.

The Polarized Marble G-Shock watch arrived yesterday.  I purchased based on the photos that I have seen online, and did not actually get to try it on at any brick and mortar store in my area because they were not in stock yet.  That said, the watch makes you perform a double-take, as the marble sheen and color changes based on the amount of light that is emitted on a particular area of the watch.  The watch can have a blue, green, lavender or purple sheen to it as a result.

Here's some photos:

Blue to green to lavender to purple sheen (even-spread lighting):

Blue sheen (direct light to area):



Watch light emitted:
[COLOR=FF4400]

On the wrist:




Blue sheen (flash of camera to area):



On the wrist - watch light emitted:



There is definitely no other G-Shock quite like this one, and I am happy to add it to my collection.  Take care, chronographers!  

So dope... have to get me one :wink:

Thank you my friend.  A sight to behold in person, for sure.  If you like the marble/different sheen look, here are the other ones in the series:

Interesting. Maybe you should try the MT-G series as those are stainless steel/resin.
