My first ten minutes with the watch... Love it.
I thought size would be an issue but it is just the right size to wear with a suite. Not too big, not too small.

Clean, refined and enough wrist presence without screaming "look at me". A true iconic look.

Very light. A tad noisy winding.

Here are some pics...

Love that model. Looks very professional in that dress shirt :wink: . I looked a long time at the one with the 'blued' hands one day, just couldn't quite do it though.
Enjoy, do I see a promotion coming?

Congrats - absolutely beautiful in its simplicity.

I wasn't expecting the "whizzing" sound when I first wound it. It's still taking some getting used to. It's a good thing that I don't have to wind it too often!

Congratulations that's a beautiful watch, it looks understated from a distance, and yet the detail when viewed closer really brings it out.

Very nice, thanks for sharing.
