Delivery due in 4 hours...
I recently started thinking about getting a new watch. I really like the 39mm OP (especially the rhodium one) but that's just more of the same and just a bit too subtle. I always wanted a BLNR but a recent viewing of one didn't excite me much (maybe due to BLNR over saturation via TRF). I tried on an LVc last year and was mightily impressed so I thought that'd be my next purchase... but in the UK they're difficult to get hold of and are selling for over list price, even if they're 2nd hand, so that ruled that out. So, where did that leave me? Well, to cut the story short I've just completely surprised myself by trading in my black Explorer II 16570 (which I rarely wore as whenever I wanted a black dial I usually chose my favourite - 39mm Explorer) and my Tudor Ranger (which I was fond of, but more often than not found myself choosing something else). But what have I traded them both in for, you ask? Can you guess what Great piece this Master plan is Treating me to? It's due to be delivered in the next 4 hours and it's nothing like what I've currently got

Absolutely stunning. As usual, it has to be seen in the metal to be appreciated
