    This is probably one of the best otb custom built rep ever offered by our favourite TD.

    All those unfounded worries about microscopic details like lume markers and date wheel alignment can be cast aside... This beauty just takes your breath away

    Under daylight, the watch exudes a form of rugged elegance, like subtle flamboyance. Looking simple from afar yet packing a punch closer up.

    Rubber strap not the softest, crazily long probably for 9" wrists or to wear on the biceps. Watch can be adjusted down to probably 6-6.5" to be worn comfortably. Well my motto is... If the lugs stick out of your wrists... It's a clock and should be around ur neck.. This one fits perfect and is for sure a keeper! Great job Angus

  2. Just collected this beauty today and words cannot describe the feeling... Brings me back to the sweet feeling of taking extra long and frequent glances at my watch without even noticing the time...
