Well, that wasn't supposed to happen!
So, after a bit of shopping and lunch with the wife and little 'un I announced I was off to do a little watch window shopping. "You're not buying, are you?" said the Mrs... "Oh no, just looking" I promised.
Anyway, somehow we walked out of the store with this:   The dial is fascinating. It seems plain at first, but the silver face really catches the light and the applied numbers can change from silver, through grey to black. It has loads of depth with the applied markers, and two tone lume too. What really surprised me was the bracelet. I thought that it might be a bit tinny on such a small watch, but it actually feels better than the one on my Sub! As my 7 year old quickly realised "Now Mummy will have to let you buy another watch when you want one, won't she?"

Very nice, piece, Jason. Wear it in good health and mind what your 7 yr old says.

Thanks. Yes, she seems to be really pleased with it. And yes, kids are too smart sometimes!

"Oh no, just looking" - How many times have those words gotten someone on this site in trouble?

That is a very good looking watch. Like it a lot. For a second, I thought there was a white dual EXP1 that I didn't know about. Congrats!
