Thanks for the vote as well!
 

Hey where in Vegas did you find that watch? Id love to see that watch along with a few other G Shocks/Protreks in person before I buy.

 
I am assuming you meant the black with rose gold trim MT-G?  I found it at the Fashion Show Mall.  So... which MT-G would you choose, the black or silver one?  The picture of the black and silver MT-Gs was taken last night at the South Coast Plaza Mall - Tourneau.

You said the same spring drive, those are the credor, you probably meant the direct drive which is the seiko.

The Spring Drive has always been for Seiko branded watches.  Seiko uses it is several different models, in several of their lines: Grand Seiko, Prospex, Galante, Ananta, Izul and Credor.  There are something like 12 different spring drive calibers in current production.

I'm just about to click 'buy' on this handsome beast.
Anyone have this exact model? Diver 300 M Co-Axial Chronograph 41.5 mm. 212.30.42.50.01.001
I'm curious about your thoughts about it... weight, thickness, etc.

I had an Racing America’s Cup Chronograph - it had a Regatta time and was bigger than the regular chrono - 44mm and something like 16mm think.  It was a hefty watch, especially for a guy like me with pretty small wrists.  The proportion was good (height vs diameter) so it worked despite its size.  It was a hefty watch and you will likely always be aware of it on your wrist especially if primarily wear lighter watches.  I would recommend getting something like a Hadley Roma silicon or rubber strap for a an inexpensive way to lighten the watch (although it may make it a bit top heavy.
 
I say go for it.  It's a marvelous chrono.

Ha, indeed a heavy beast. And I did... ordered it earlier this afternoon. It might be available for pick up next weekend.
Pretty excited. First new middle-tier watch in a long while. 

I've been wanting a co-axial ever since they debuted several years ago. And they finally brought these down to 41.4mm. Nice size.

So, browsing the "Affordables" section on WUS, I noted these new pre-production watches (probably coming to Kickstarter soon):

With the meca-quartz, it should be a cool watch all around.
I'm also following their next watch:

I think they are good designs and good movements as well and their prices are not eye-gouging.
