3 out and 1 in....but what? - LLD 42mm
So having sold 3 watches over the last few weeks and, with the watch fund looking reasonably healthy, started checking my favourites, bookmarks and generally looking around.
Well I found something at a great price on the Montredo site, hit the add to basket button and subsequently paid (albeit I awaiting shipping confirmation).
So what is it
Clues include:
I've tried this brand before which has a great heritage and makes some really nice watches.
The 2 previous watches from this brand that I had, I found too small for my tastes at 36mm and 38mm respectively.
The one I've bought is 42mm and of the diver genre.

Great choice Nigel. It is a brilliant watch and while I really enjoy my 36 version I am sure you will be able to pull off the 42 just fine.
Enjoy it
Enjoy it
Cheers now, Paul

Nice addition Nigel
I really like the LLD too, i just found it too big for me, it does wear large for 42mm with fairly long lugs Obviously with a larger wrist, that's not an issue. If they ever split the difference and made it in 38-40 I'd be a potential buyer.

Re: 3 out and 1 in....but what?
Thanks everyone
I'm really excited to get this one - it's been on the radar for a while now.
If it does indeed wear bigger than the 42mm that will be fine for me - I've, in the past, worn a 46mm pilot watch comfortably.
One thing that I did notice was that the lugs angle down and thus around the wrist which should be perfect for me.
