I bought two.... paperbag

Not quite the same as that one. One is all black and the other is white with silver sub-dials.

Here's my black one.



I have it on black leather now so it looks smart when I've got my suit on.
any chance of a pic of the black on black please?

Couldn't resist it, with the discount (£175, down from £250; "nearly new"):

Arrived today. V pleased too. + nice box and good service. Spent a while trying to work out how the butterfly clasp works though (first time I've had one of those). All in all, though, biggrin

Here she is. The strap I'm using is actually a millimetre too narrow because it has a 19mm lug width. I'll have to get around to ordering a 19mm online as you can't get that size in the shops. I suppose I could squeeze a 20mm in.



It's a bit overcast for photos really and actually started raining a little, but while I was out there I thought I would do one of the white with silver dials. For some reason the tatty old brown strap seems to suit it. I had it on a navy blue NATO for a bit.

That black/black looks very nice, think I'll have to have a punt, thanks for the heads-up and the pics.

The DBR1 arrived just before lunch... I only have weedy little wrists and at 42mm (IIRC) it looks pretty good:

I think CW must have sold most of these to PH'ers! Mine turned up a few weeks ago.
