    How Did That Happen?

    A little shopping trip to Leeds, and the question of what my next watch might be is answered. I LOVE this dial, and it really catches the light well. Quick iPhone pictures after plenty if champagne in the boutique don't do it justice. Also looked at the Explorer, but it was just too like my Sub to be worth buying. Very nice buying experience, and some free bubbly thrown in to take home. Spent a good hour and a half being treated very well. Better pictures will follow when I'm back down South...

    Guess I better update my signature now!

    Simple is best! Love it.
    Too many watches, not enough wrists.

    I think that dial is much nicer than the equivalent one on the new 39mm OP

    Goodness yes! The one with red markers? I looked at that too and immediately rejected it.

    36mm wears surprisingly nicely. It's actually quite dressy and fits under French cuffs very well.
