That's the best picture I've seen showing the colour and the graduated dial. :D

Wonderful dial, it looks timeless! Christopher Ward saved me some money by not issuing this in a 39/40mm.

Sorry. Your own photos only. I thought it was yours.

You should also give credit to the source of the photo.

To be fair to MichaelMD, he did credit the source in his first set of photos in this thread.

Just joined the bandwagon for the Bronze!!!

Have a close to 17cm wrist.. been wearing my Black Bay Heritage 41mm with lug to lug of 50mm. So I guess this Bronze Beauty sized at 42mm with lug to lug 49.xmm should be fine!!!

Couldnt resist the beauty in the bronze and the great value for the COSC movement, even though it may be a tad big for me!

Hope it all goes well! cant wait to receive it!

Arrived home after a 25 hour journey back to find this waiting for me. I’m really pleased with this and think it looks great. I might try a few other straps as I’m not convinced the hybrid suits it the best.

@iain - it does absolutely look great, and it must have brightened up those early hours back home when you’re tired, jet lagged and freezing cold! :thumbup:

The hybrid looks good.

I like NATO's on bronze watches.

I also think a brown velcro strap might work. Like this, but darker, although I can only see 20mm on both eBay and Amazon. Although 20mm might work as they are actually wider away from the lugs. (Like Bond wearing the narrow NATO, but less noticeable).

Looks really good. Personally I think the distressed leather strap looks the best, but I would want to have both that strap and the hybrid that you have. Hybrid would be perfect for sweaty summer heat and a dip in the pool or ocean. Leather more suited for winter months. Congrats on the watch! :thumbup:

I think this one has dual character. When you want it to look more modern wear it on the hybrid. The hybrid looks very good. When you want it to look a little more vintage then a leather strap would wind back the clock. Looks great either way :thumbup:
