Thanks guys.

It’s a lovely piece. The only metal bracelet I have right now. So it’ll get quite a bit of wrist time in thinking.

My dad is already eyeing it. But he’s not getting this one.

The lume is far better than I expected. This is not my first DD. But I do think the lume is better than I recall.

This is bright and crisp.

I want them to get a fair price for the watch they sell. The same way I want to receive a fair deal. I also wanted to ensure it helped if there is a Basel release I want.

It’s a win/win for everyone.
A true gentleman. Totally agree. Fantastic watch. Congrats!

I agree. This is no dress watch. Or if it is, it’s a dress watch after 3 cycles of testosterone.

It’s not a sub or a Daytona or a gmt, but it’s got sport watch proportions and great lume. It also has a great case similar to the YM imho.

Maybe the 36mm version is, but this watch does not feel dressy to me. Not one bit. Could it dress up? Of course, but so can the above mentioned examples.

I think this one suits you Tyler.

Congratz Seth! What a beauty. Nothing like the subtle-ness of WG. I'm not on that level yet. I like my RG lol.

I do agree the 40mm is sporty. 36mm too small for my wrist size and usual attire.
