Great combination, that.

Tungsten carbide bezel, if I'm not mistaken.

I gather he has a line on getting hold of a pocket-fox pelt.

Albino fox foreskin is very 2023.

That said, I think this will be on the metal for a while! I go in phases...sometimes sensible, sometimes less sensible.

Strap is 1mm too narrow frown
Lovely watch, still yet to get to look at one.

But get it back on the bracelet or the Tudor rubber and off this too-narrow, too-shiny-stainless-steel nato! And I love a nato!

Arrived yesterday and I've got the bracelet properly sized now.

That looks a very special watch.

Grrr the one that got away for me. Had a great opportunity to buy at - if I recall - about 3.5k brand new from Ernest Jones and I bottled it.

I’ve missed wearing this on the days I’ve been in the office. Been back on every evening and now for the weekend. Pretty compelling.

It's much nicer in person. I am terrible at photos, sorry.

Big fan of those.
Me too, not overly expensive but quite hard to come by.

I don't know why I didn't buy one of these years ago.

Ok, the width is correct now, but the black metalwork is a bit cr@p (£10) so will try again lol. Bracelet is nice, no question, but some days I just want a strap!

Thanks smile

It took a few hours on the wrist to adjust after wearing my (bigger) Speedy a lot before it arrived but really happy with it size wise now and think it suits my wrist better than the bigger version.
