Thanks very much slever,
I appreciate the welcome and the support!
I’m not going to pretend it wasn’t nerve wracking to work on a brand new (expensive) lovely watch, but I’m glad it went well as now I don’t have to wait for a special trip into London just to be able to wear it.
And I’m really enjoying staring at that dial! It’s a lovely watch and everything that I hoped it would be. It wears really well.
I had considered the recent Polaris Mariner Date too but after waiting since it was announced last year it seemed to be going for about the twice the price of this one and I couldn’t justify that.
I’m thinking of getting a nice JLC leather strap and/or rubber with deployant for it also for that multi-use look. Not cheap though! That might have to wait a while.
