The Over-Pole is a pretty faithful LE re-issue of an old 1962 Rado model, but with an R862 (2804-based) manual calibre with 80-hr PR and adjusted to 5 positions, ceramic "Worldtimer" bezel and sans cyclops.
This model improves on all the things that stopped me from trying the 37mm Captain Cook and recent Jan reductions meant it was time to finally bite the bullet.
Absolutely delighted!

Re: Non CW of the Day
I’ve no doubt the Sub would look better on you. I failed yet another watch modelling audition. Apparently the optimum case size for my wrist is 48mm. Hence anything less than 41mm is lost. Not much work for me these days.

Washing the car? Or wearing the Bremont?
I can understand not washing the car......

The watch gets worn quite a bit. If there was a help line for neglected cars, Mr Volvo would be making a call.

This is a bit of a chunky Monkey. I rather like it.

Been worn all day. Strap is really quite comfortable, if a tad snug or too loose.

Are the hands a little to big, or is it just me? Screenshot_20230121-084744.png
Did you make the bezel yourself? If so, well done.
I do agree with missF that the hour hand is a little long.
