    Don’t see these everyday >>>

    Just taken ownership of this lovely piece. Autumnal background



    The packaging is rather special with two extra straps making it almost a ‘one watch’ contender.

    Excellent. Am glad that you didn’t buy the blue dialled chrono.

    blue rubber and blue leather with deployant clasp. And easy change mechanism on strap / bracelet - no changing tools required - just a fingernail.

    SD43 traded as part of the deal. I just don’t have the funds for both. I did though pick up a rather nice watch from Kerry as well today (private deal) - more later!

    Haha retirement has left you with too much time on your hands. Can't sit at home so must focus on rejigging the collection. I look forward to the SOTC.

    Congrats, this new version of the Overseas has been very popular - I guess it help you can actually buy it versus Patek and some APs ;)

    Stunning. And yeah, I think I could be happy with that as my only watch tbh, with those straps, perfect in any situation. Congratulations!

    Lovely watch and one that I was dreaming of a while back.
    Mind if I ask what was the damage?

    Bracelet's what I'd be wearing most.

    Can you show us the strap change mechanism?

    Very nice indeed Martyn, something very special.
    Best Regards - Peter

    I'd hate to be with you when you're on your own.

    Don’t see these everyday >>>

    Nice pick up. The multiple straps make it particularly interesting - although lug design makes it very limiting too.

    Interest piqued no doubt by other member’s recent SOTC which discussed this model.

    I’ll be interested to know if you managed more than 30% off RRP.

    I’m intrigued how you decided on dropping the SDc and the Polar II, as I’m down for both currently!

    The case shape (although not that unusual and rather lovely bezel) has something of the Oysterquartz about its styling.

    Stunning watch!
