Got it!! Colt ocean

Hi all,
After searching during weeks I found my daily wear. I'm wearing now a 5513 but 40mm is too big for me for a daily use!
I tried the YM 168622 but not convinced at the end. Finally decided to buy the 16622 (thanks to some TRF members) so still with no solution!!! Hahaha
A good friend told me about the colt. He said: "is perfect for your way of life"!!
Once I discovered the model, the specs and the dimensions... Yessss! Bought it today and will be at home next week!
This is the one (pic borrowed from Mr. Google)

Now... I think changing the date wheel with a black one could be a great mod.
The only thing I don't like much is the mirror finished...too shiny! Isn't it? What do you think if I brush the complete watch to get a matte colt?...just thinking...
Hope you like.
Have a nice day!

I have two Colts myself. I have the older A17035 (my first Swiss automatic watch that is still in rotation with my other watches) and an A17350 which is similar to your watch but the dial is different (no Arabic numerals just sticks.) I've always liked the dial of your watch and have been thinking getting one. I'm glad that you like it. Enjoy.
