This is a real goldilocks piece for me. I really like the styling of the older, pre- Evo Chronomats but kind of worried that at 40mm they would be a little too small for my taste. Then along comes the Crosswind Racing! Same basic styling in a 42.7mm case. Love the palladium dial too.

The only weird thing is that the bracelet on it loooong. Even with all the links out it's still a little big on me.

That's a great piece, I'd love it if it were a little bigger. The dial
On it is nice, and I love the design of the pushers and crown.

Nice spring morning to take out my 2000 XK8 for the first time this year. The Ref 9121 and the Jag look like a mated pair.

Thanks Matt and nice Bentley!!! I have had the XK8 from new. It has 24000 original miles and is in mint condition. As I mentioned before I collect vintage British sports cars from the 50's 60' and 70's. This is a later non vintage model as of yet. Just a matter of time. They are just like watches. Collecting them becomes an affliction. The only problem is they take up much more room to store and are more expensive to maintain.
