And so, at this particular time of this particular day, my views on this prospective/aspiring trinket are:

>Anything under 39mm case diameter and I'm less than interested.

>Anything under 38mm case diameter and I'm definitely not interested UNLESS the entire thing is very lightweight so was not to weigh heavy on the wrist of a slender 5'3" lady wife. Beyond acknowledging her particular preferences I am untroubled by any issue of man watch, lady watch, gender neutral watch: if you like it you should wear it.

>SH21 movement and I'm in.

>If this is the 20th anniversary BIG DEAL and I'm definitely in. (I wonder if Chris Ward and the dear lady Wera Mettes will be invited to any birthday celebrations: I hope so.)

>Anything that shouts its especialness by going "TING" once a minute, once an hour or once a day and my interest is diminished.

>Anything which is "pre-order" for a date more than 90 days in the future and I shall be disappointed.

>Anything with a solar power function will be greeted with less than wholehearted acclaim as I've just ticked the solar power box with a Citizen Eco-power movement.

>Anything celebrating / pastiching the legacy C6/60 models will command great interest.

>Anything made from wood, bamboo or other "environmentally friendly" material will probably be completely ignored.
