Tudor?
I've no idea really. I'm just trying to thing of a titanium watch with an adjustable clasp. Wear it in health.

No, @JAFO , not Tudor.
I've admired the look of this brand from afar for quite some time and a tempting discount from retail from the makers was all I needed to succumb: once I'd seen this week's desk diver. I'd looked hard at the remaining stock of NTH watches available at watchgecko but previous experience of the NTH Subs stopped me from going further "for old times' sake".

That's a nice clean look, and avoids obvious homages, I think.
I've just looked at it. Did you get the rubber strap as well?

I've a couple of their rubber straps (black & navy) if you have questions?

No, I bought it from their "Re-verified collection" bin on the titanium bracelet. I figured that's how I'd really want to wear it but I have a shoe box full of straps to play with.
Was it an impulse purchase? The timing may well have been impulsive but I've been admiring the look of this watch for quite some time so I'd say that the stars aligned.

Thank you. I think onto the timegrapher within 2 hours of being unboxed might have been too soon so I'll come back to that after 24 hours of running and wear. There seems to be a lot of flex built into the bracelet which I'm putting down to a conscious design choice and costing.

That’s a nice watch. The hardening coat for the titanium is a plus. Reminds me of the Traska brand. Similarly priced watches.

Nice acquisition, Pete.

Birthday present to self?

It'll be perfect for your intended use, and much more. Enjoy it.

Thanks Guy not so much birthday present, more consolation prize whilst my equally light and perfectly formed C60 Lumiere is back at CW Towers for replacement under warranty. Given that ERNIE has seen fit to serve us both a big fat zero this month ("but ERNIE it's my birthday!!") it was a timely arrival.

Congrats! Not a brand I’ve taken much notice of, but they do have some very nice legible watches.

Perhaps it's an age thing (only 71 by the way!) but I scanned your last few words as "very nice edible watches". Nurse.... nurse.....

Seriously Steve thank you. It's one of those "slips quietly under the cuff, more discrete than the bloke wearing it" watches.

Perhaps we should extend the Misread Titles thread to cover double-takes within posts.

A while back someone exhorted me to “enjoy the rudest of good health” while wearing a watch, and another member thought he had told me to enjoy the nudists!

Only yesterday on the “Refining Collection” thread I wrote about going to “my favourite Greek/Cypriot boltholes”; rereading it, I almost thought I had written “brothels”. What must you people think of my holidays?

On your second point, and related to what I wrote about refining the collection, I’m most unlikely to buy any more watches for the foreseeable, but if I was looking for a sensible, LEGIBLE, all-purpose watch, the Valour 38 might be a contender.

Meantime, enjoy the RUDEST of health with your watches in whatever BOLTHOLES you frequent.

I can vouch for the Valour 38 being clear and easy to read:
