Very very classy! Mine are living (still undiscovered) in the drawer which contains all my fishing magazines.

Wow, wow, wow. Magnificent watch :-)

Oh and I need to add that it's the most comfortable watch I've ever owned. I forget it's there, until I need to look at it!

The explorer 1 has my vote...and I know what you mean about the gorgeous case getting slightly lost with the bracelet, but the bracelet adds substance and a surprising amount of presence to the...

Ohhhh that's a stunner!!!! Love it.

Thanks for that--it was a hell of a lot of fun to read/view. Looks cracking now!

A tale with a very happy ending :-)

Beautiful!! Many thanks for posting that, and the story too. What an elegant piece--is the strap brown or black, and is it the original strap?

Fantastic watch browners, a real stunner!

Hiya Cardshark! Enjoy--

Welcome!
And I've just realised I need the same type of strap--will keep you posted on what I find out.
