I like that. Was only looking at one today in a dealers window in Hereford. A classic style that would work well with a suit, and otherwise. I was surprised at how big it was though. How does it wear?

It’s a nice fit. 40.5mm case so it wears nicely. I’ve swapped the patent leather black strap for a blue croc with a Hirsch deployant. It fits under a shirt cuff easily.

I’m very pleased with it and think it looks a lot more expensive than it actually is. PM me if you are planning on buying one. I managed to find mine at a really good price.

Marinemaster 300M...a bit of a tank, but it is a lovely thing to wear.

To be fair Bertie, that will be a gorgeous watch. Very good work. One to cherish!

I'm deliberating over a black bay, the s&g is a strong choice but don't think it would suit me. Lovely piece though.

Made a pledge for one of these today

The configurator is a bit of fun.

Leaning towards a navy blue case, dial & bezel, orange rehaut & orange hands.

I thought I'd hate this. Then I actually tried one on. It just works so so well. Enjoy!

And replied.

I don't usually like the Nautilus/Aquanauts much, they're so Seventies retro to me. But I like that quite a lot. I still get kipper ties and flares from it though, the face is just like one of Jack Regans ties and the strap/case reminds me of the shoe on the Grannys accelerator pedal.

I really like that Nautilus.

I have one of these coming. I really liked the design. I was planning to wear it for a bit and to then sell it on, but many on here have convinced me that it is a keeper, as has research into the brand. Web pic, as I do not have the watch yet.

Pretty excited about it arriving. I plan to wear it occasionally, rather than daily/frequently.

Same, I went in looking at the Black Bay Dark but thought this was much nicer. The brushed gold and black face look great in person.

I love the Black Bays but Tudor's GMT intrigues me a lot. I may just keep saving for the Rolex equivalent...... 1st world problems.

Is that the platinum model? Can't be sure if that's a blue dial or a colour being reflected.

A long, long way out of my financial reach however I would if I could. My favourite Rolex cloud9

I believe that’s the white one which in my opinion is better looking in real life
