Congrats! I like bezels that are not made of plastic. That one appears to be all SS and numbers engraved. Its a heck of a durable watch.

Excellent acquisition, Clarence. Not only an exquisite watch, but you will find it very comfortable too.

Also, the time readability is very quick with this dial and hands combo!! Wear it in good health!!

Cheers - JJ
