This thread resurrection rather passed me by - the internet obsessiveness around the black version of these watches, and how it seems to tiptoe along the edge of Walter Mittyism (endless pics across social media of bunches of the same watch on bits of cam or next to SF badges - good grief) , has almost completely killed my interest in them. Absolutely couldn’t wear a black one now.
Nevertheless, with regard to my original question, instagram tells me CWC are now offering this hand arrangement as a special; good looking tool watch.
