Is that an aftermarket strap?
Yep, Zealande I think is the brand. Much softer than the crafter blue brand,, holes aren't as precisely lined up as you'd expect for the money, but pretty good quality.

Inspired by the Breitling earlier, I have changed my mind and gone blue.

This is a great watch and great quality in terms of build and finish. The ceramic bezel is a particularly nice colour and perfectly matches the dial (not always the case on some much more expensive watches), which itself has a very subtle sunburst, only visible in bright, direct sunlight.

I really like it!

Another stunner there, Harry. I have my eye on these as they don’t hold their value terrifically well on the used market, it appears (no criticism of the watch BTW)

As the owner of similar watches from Omega and Rolex, how would you say this compares? Thanks in advance

Picked this up in a sale they had on their website a few years ago for a really good price (50% off I think?). Always loved their design language.

Does it trim wrist hair as well?

The dial printing quality on yours seems sub-par wink

I think they are a bargain second hand.

Finishing is Breitling Superocean II quality, so not quite modern Rolex or Omega, but very good. Bezel action isn't amazing - again, reminds me of the Superocean II. The blue one is a lovely colour, goes from dark teal to royal blue depending on the light. Recommended! It's a very handsome thing and feels substantial and solid, unlike some of RW's offerings.

In the spirit of the thread, have a wky holiday shot! But it shows how dark it is out of direct sunlight.
