Just can't get enough of the big B and I had my eye on a 'concept' type of watch which resulted in this beauty. First impressions are that it is truly a beautiful piece. I love the sheer bulk (both weight and massive 19mm thickness), the 44mm diameter is respectable and the textured dial is just beautiful, especially in black as the reflection makes it switch between black and grey. I also really like the fact that the dial is so damn close to the glass. It is just an amazing piece and i'm very glad i went for it. A black diver pro strap is comming on Saturday (pics will be posted) which I think will complement it very nicely.

with big brother. When I look at the SA dial now it seems kind of flat as it isn't textured :(

A little bonus one comparing two extremes in sizing (48mm vs 28mm) I think i need to polish up the Cartier pronto!!!

Many thanks for looking
Regards
Kamio)))

Add a UTC module and you'd have a real eye popper...

agreed. a co-pilot or utc would transform the EM into an epic. I've never actually seen an EM with utc/co-pilot. A pic would be v.nice to see

I've never seen one either.
Not sure of the lug width on an EM.
Are they 22mm?

yes, they are 22mm. i'm guessing you need to buy the whole bracelet if you want the co-pilot module and i'm not sure if the older utc would fit a pro2 bracelet????????

now with Diver Pro strap added!!! I think the addition of the strap suits the watch better than the Pro II Bracelet and makes it more rugged and ready for action- essential as it is now my daily beater. It still weighs an absolute tonne though!!!

That´s not bad for a "daily beater" ;)

I wasn't a fan of the EM on rubber, until that is I saw this. Nice color combo. 8)

yeah, its mainly because it is a quartz. I far prefer auto's but at the same time have a lot of respect for them, hence why I try and avoid undertaking any kind of strenuous activities whilst wearing them. My Tag is a quartz also but since getting the SA it is almost unwearable
