New Arrival 1803

Running and keeping good time but may benefit from a service down the track. Second hand movement is a bit jumpy. Other than that I really enjoy it. May have to find a black strap somewhere.

Looks great! Personally, I prefer the brown. Try on a few that are a shade or two darker than the one on there currently and see if you like it.

I love them too - have been toying with finding a rose gold one myself. It's a beauty.

I like the strap it is on now. Much less formal than black, imho.

Stunning! I love the YG 1803 best on brown/honey gator. I think the WG version looks best on black.

Thank You all for the kind words. It's really hard to ever take this 1803 off my wrist. I just have fallen in love with it. This watch is keeping very accurate time, which for some reason surprises me. For now, I am keeping it on the brown strap.

Cheers,

-GH

Very nice DD. The jumping second hand may be the tension spring needing adjusting or placing. I had mine replaced recently and it fixed the second hand skipping my DD experienced. Enjoy your DD.
