OMG that's fabulous. :clap:

Not sure which is better, the Bremont or your IWC; I love them both.

I am very grateful, Paul. But not that grateful. :lol:

Thanks all for the compliments. I am planning to size the bracelet later, and give it a whirl on that.

Ooh, she's purdy!!!!! Great buy and good to see that the new case size fits like a glove.

You seem to have left the fabric covering on the bracelet though... Be a love and peel it off would you.

Better?

Right now, I am preferring it on the fabric strap. I also tried it on the supplied Bremont NATO, but that didn't work for me at all (it's all rings and tucky bits).

Sorry Richard, for once, no.

Pacific is best. The blue/grey of the stripes seems to enhance the blue dial.

^ I agree, Guy - although the bracelet picture is missing a little light. The dial of this watch (similar to the YM) only shows the true colour in strong light, and the rest of the time it is almost black.

Anyway, it's back on the Haveston - which provides a nice contrast to the rest of my collection.

That looks bloody fantastic. And a great price on the bracelet. I tried on the blue bezel in store but really didn't like the shiny bezel but I think the problem was the shop lighting. This one looks great in natural light.

Could see it replacing the black bay?

Possibly. It definitely needs to replace something - to keep the numbers down. Current candidates are the IWC Mark XVII, the Black Bay or one or other of the AT's. It's a tough call.

The right calls in the collection though. The black bay has kinda had its 15 minutes I feel. Man I want the MBII. Almost pulled the trigger today.
