....and inspired some folk along the way, myself included.
A hearty well done and may you contribute long into the future

The exact one! Awesome.

I think back to the likes of Sean Connery's James Bond in Goldfinger and wearing a watch maybe 34mm....

...or on 36mm of same

Well I already have a Sealander, GMT, and I have a policy for no two watches from same series.
Otherwise it's a thumbs up and it looks fabulous on the consort. Shine her up baby!

Of course having a 'girlie' 16cm wrist helps

@Noush Do you have evidence for the assertion that Oris would rate highly?

Very happy indeed with my Summiteer v4. They really make some good watches.

This one arrived today

Something different in the way of homage pieces for sure. And really nicely done too.
VC's 1921 is WAY above my pay grade but this one was not...

Ah, the trip down (for me a relatively short) CW memory lane... I discovered CW in 2018 when I was 'back in the market' for a watch. Mrs N had passed late '15 after a long, long, tiring and emotional illness (MS). Watches were going to be my 'me something'. And look where THAT has taken me by gosh! ...

For me this was really an exercise in how we can see things differently, revelatory moments, that kind of thing. I've had a few such (different) things with watches over the years. I'm still more 'comfortable' with at least hour markers even if in fact they are not really needed as such. So neither ...

Old 'noodle wrist' needs it smaller!!
