New arrival
I've been thinking about one of these for years and finally decided to thrift the number of watches I own and settle on 2-3 (maybe 4....).



Always had tool watches . The idea of a sport watch that didn't at least keep track of elapsed time was puzzling to me.



Tried a couple other brands of sporty watches but found them lacking in......panache, maybe?



After consulting with a few of my chums here I opted for:



They told me it wore so that you barely noticed it was on the wrist.



And, they're right.

I love the congruency of the strap and dial decorations - and the clasp is a thing of beauty.




The movement is beautiful in its own right:



I decided on the 5167 over a Nautilus because I wanted a lighter, sportier piece.
So far, so good!
