What a nice complicated VC, congrats. The Day and Month in the middle is interesting.
If the people ask, the people get! On holiday this week, so will have some time to do it justice…I wasn’t originally blown away when I saw the launch…but then went to a VC event and there was one in the building for another client and seeing it in the flesh was a no brainer purchase
VC are doing some special things at the moment and this piece is outstanding

Broadarrow PRS3 arriving tomorrow after a visit to Olivier for a check up, battery and pressure test.
Always had a hankering for a Monnin 844 style diver after trying to buy an automatic original back in 2010 (should have persevered!). Fast forward to now and a growing family means budget constraints apply so had been looking at CWC, but prices kept me away. Then this popped up on SC! Knowing me I'll probably try and pick up a used CWC if one turns up, but in the meantime I'm excited to get my hands on this!

Just got this in for review
Hello Tom, yes of course! Look forward to seeing the next photo on your wrist
Really happy with my recently arrived BB58 from Harry. Wears similarly to my previously owned 14060 and I also prefer the raised crystal lack of crown guards and red triangle on the bezel. Timekeeping is spot on. Also the first watch I have worn for many years that I like on a bracelet.
Lovely. Where from, if you don't mind revealing?

I so want one of these again. I had the GSG 9 but it always felt too Walt. The actual watch was amazing though - the ultimate grab and go, unique, cool, tough as boots, comfortable, etc., etc.
Looks perfect Lee. Did the link arrive lol?Really happy with my recently arrived BB58 from Harry.

I cancelled it from US and then tried to order from UK but they are out of stock so back to US
It’s the forum pass around watch…
It’s been through a few hands in recent weeks, not going anywhere for a while now though. It’s not been off my wrist since it arrived which is really unusual (I some times wear 2/3 watches a day). It is almost the perfect day to day watch for all the reasons you list.

Watch just arrived, am at work so a quick and dirty phone photo will have to do! Phoenix strap was waiting for it (with the extra bit cut off). Watch in amazing condition for nearly 20 years old, thanks again Lee!Hello Tom, yes of course! Look forward to seeing the next photo on your wrist

Gorgeous thing - good to see one out in the wild.
Thought long and hard before ordering this but I love it.
I've been looking for just the right blue strap to match the hands of my Archimede for quite a while, and found one at last. A nice change from the dark brown it's usually on . . .

F.T.F.A.
Got 'the call' earlier and picked this up. Thought I'd prefer the polar, which I have in the previous reference, but not so sure now.
Congrats. I was wondering if anyone was getting the call to buy Rolex.Got 'the call' earlier and picked this up. Thought I'd prefer the polar, which I have in the previous reference, but not so sure now.
That is sweet! Can you show some more of it? This one gets advertized quit often in a glossy mag with the Dutch FT.

I have no Walt aspirations and never have, but there is no doubt it is one of the best watches I own. Practical, rugged, legible, good looking, comfortable...Lovely. Where from, if you don't mind revealing?

Sorry, there's no way you're getting it back!!
Very nice. What reference is that please?Got 'the call' earlier and picked this up. Thought I'd prefer the polar, which I have in the previous reference, but not so sure now.
Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
Hi Ian - it's the 226570-0002.
Perfect match.I've been looking for just the right blue strap to match the hands of my Archimede for quite a while, and found one at last. A nice change from the dark brown it's usually on . . .
Can you share where you got this strap please?
Yes, that really works.

That’s quite delightful. Another gem added to your vintage collection.145.012-69
My latest new arrival, a £34 HUAWEI fitness band (band 6), very impressed as a right wrist HRM & O2 monitor and love the juxtaposition to my left wrist Rolex.
I am wondering if there is a worse watch ever to be featured here? Apologies, this is very much functionality over form.
Anther one in for review
I've got the polar but with the small changes they have made the black does look very good. People like the novelty of the floating hands but yours looks better.Got 'the call' earlier and picked this up. Thought I'd prefer the polar, which I have in the previous reference, but not so sure now.

Imagine it with frosted hands like on the polar, but in white. And matt dial
Thank you Martyn
