Hi guys,

Some really quick shots of the new arrival for you. I'll try to get some more composed shots at the weekend.

In the box!
Image

On the wrist mine are 7.5 inches
Image

The profile is really quite low and will be good for suits/shirts I think
Image

Really bright easy to read dial, the 3 & 9 are actually just fine!
Image
Image

I do think the brushed clasp might mark up quite quickly tho.

Image

Take care

Davey

That dial works remarkably well with the bracelet Davey - a very sophisticated look, and it doesn't look too big - large yes, but not OTT.

Looking good Davey! I found that the low height tends to make it wear smaller than it's diameter would suggest too.

I really like the brushed mesh as well. I much prefer it to the polished version actually.

interested to see it next month Dave.

And i'm going to de-moth my Chrono Matic 24 to see if the low profile works for me.

Great pics Davey, thanks! Is the case top (bezel & lug tops) brushed and the sides polished or all brushed? I really like the dial design and low profile. I'm just afraid it's going to be too large in diameter for me, but we will see.

What was list price?
Thanks again.

Hiya

The sides are polished and there is a neat curve where it changes to brushed across the lugs, I'll try to capture it in a picture. I'm interested to see how it would look with the polished mesh bracelet from my SO Heritage. Also the Ocean Racer too

The list in the UK is £3580.00.

:shock: Love that Davey! Never actually seen that model until now, don't know why. Looks pin sharp with that white face.

ps. Wish my pics(witch take hours) were as good as your 'quick' shots! :D

Cheers

Looks good surprisingly, but I'll stick with my Airwolf. What I hadn't noticed until your pics was they're using the B01 / Galactic font! It seems resistance......is futile.

First time I've seen it too and I don't mind it at all. Striking dial and as you say will wear well under a suit. Super photos.

nice looking watch...just can't get into the "quartz" frame of mind since I've strayed away to the auto movement.

enjoy!

On your shots it looks much better than I expected :o It seems to fit your wrist perfectly.

Wear it in good health!

Great pics, but I'm still not sure about it. How's the alarm?
