Thanks for pointing that out; now looked at.

Unfortunately, not a fan of Lizard pattern and too dressy for my Damasko.

Thanks for the suggestion. The 'Sand' coloured one?

Right colour I think but, unfortunately, at 75/115 a tad on the short side.

I prefer 80/120 minimum.

Very pretty indeed Nick. Does it meet with your, and your wife's, approval?

Presumably the compass needle is the running seconds.

Cheers Guy.

Actually, I rather like the white dial. It is a good size for me, has the 7750 wobble and is cracking value for money.

The compass is indeed the seconds hand. It is the only thing I am not sure about.

Pales into insignificance when compared to your new beauty, but she'll do me.

Wifey has been battered into submission and is hoping that this scratches my white dial itch :) (she will probably be wrong!)

I love the white dial MBii, but as my black dial one does not get worn more than a couple of times a year, I fear the white dial would suffer the same fate.

The itch that it is trying to scratch is for a watch that I have been trying to track down for a little while. They are however rather hard to come by. It is the one watch that stopped me getting the Bremont Victory and I have recently redoubled my efforts :)

My Elliot Brown Canford on a new Sandstone coloured rubber NATO (exclusively from Page and Cooper). I think the strap tones beautifully with the cream dial.

Trying out a new Perlon. Never been convinced about them before, but this one feels better, is thicker than the norm and has a different weave.

Snap !
I have just put my latest arrival on what I think is the same strap in brown (Eulit Palma ?)
I have been saving up for a Nomos for many a month but I could not resist this at the price and I have no regrets.

I think it wears much thinner but a litter wider than I thought it might - it's a keeper.
