Can blame PH for this one, looking forward to seeing how the bronze develops over time. My first CW, and first diver.
Nothing personal; promise, but it hurts me to see a watch worn on a right arm/wrist. It just looks so..... awkward.

But love the watch!

Many will claim it has something to do with being left-handed. It doesn't. It's just weird.

No problem at all, I know it's wrong! Pretty much anything I've not been directly taught to do I do left handed (no jokes please rofl)

When given my first watch as a kid I put it on my right arm, that was that really getmecoat

The bronze / matte ceramic is a nice contrast both in appearance and as old / modern materials, the 'distressed' brass face goes nicely, it looks really nice on smile

I see what you did there.

And it was awful.

Purchased this earlier today. Haven't ever considered a Rolex previously, but ever since I saw one in an airport earlier in the year I've been thinking about it.

Finally gave in to temptation. The sales woman accidentally charging me the price before the recent rise was a bonus too. The display watch was labelled as £4350, but it still said £4150 on the tag attached to this watch. As we'd already agreed on £4100, she honoured what she'd said.

Usually not a big fan of the model, but this one looks less bling and the blue indices are a great touch!

Very nice!

A very nice looking watch and it matches your shirt, which will be handy.

I don't know. I guess some sort of moth caterpillar. There were loads of them along the path. The closest thing I can find on Google is the Ruby Tiger Moth caterpillar.

Nice....what is it?
Stowa Fleiger by the looks of it, I have one on the leather strap it comes with.
That's the one, I have the original strap as well however it's pretty much always been worn on one of a few NATOs I have.

A rare outing for the Longines Avigation A7 today.
I do like this watch a lot but tend to wear it only on special occasions.

I must admit to being bored rigid by Rolex design (have owned 3 (together) so have experience) but this is nice clap
