It's been the Super-duper-Ocean for over a week now....
So I wish I was James Bond, just for the day.

This looks a great watch, I've just taken delivery of my first chrono, so maybe a Brietling one day.

Very nice Richard, complete with flying B and proper crown and pushers as opposed to those acorn things. What size is it?

Yes, this one is a bit "old school" now, and a bit battered. Thinking of maybe a service next year. 42mm James, and 16.9mm thick!

That's a proper man's sized watch! Must be weighty too?

198g to be precise!
But, it's comfy. The rounded caseback sits nicely on the wrist, crown nicely away from the wrist and the bracelet is a beauty.

Thanks, I like my Wittnauer, too!
To me, all the elements on the watch face just come together nicely. And it's in really good condition.
