 Then that is it, Ken - jump! You will truly love the work in these things. Much more subtle than my 44s and 45s.

Which model would ya jump at? The bund dial, the red tipped second hand, the dial with the numerals (as in photo 3 above)? The polished case might show some use at a later stage, but it was an inspired choice by Bill Yao - it looks absolutely spot on for this one. Tony's model looks more appropriate with the sandblasted finish IMHO.

I am thinking I might get one of both the bund dial and the dial with the numerals - I genuinely like them that much - and the time keeping is excellent right out of the box.

My Bob strap didn't arrive today :? - another coupla days before that hits here I guess. If I like it, I am going to order a natural (yellowy) 22/22 Bob Ostrich and a 24/24 brown buffalo just for the fun of it, along with matching screw-in polished and brushed huge pre-v buckles - to swap out on different watches. I'm gonna start having some fun with straps - they are (a little bit) cheaper than watches...   mistake.gif and they give new life to watches old and new. I am like a kid in a candy store at the moment.

Have a  great day Ken! IanM ThumbsUp02.gif. Camera_photos.gi will, of course, follow...
