Thanks for sharing. Did it wear large, what size wrist do you have? I’m concerned about lug shape for my 6.5

Would have been awesome if they kept this a monopusher chrono.

Brushed to bracelet and top of lugs and polished finish to the case sides. Would easily work with shirt cuffs just looked it up and see it’s 11.3 mm deep.

I purchased the green one and I enjoyed wearing it so much, that I bought the champagne and black dial versions. These 3 are now my daily beaters. The bracelet is extremely comfortable (think vintage Rolex), the dials are beautiful, and indices and hands are GS quality in terms of how they shine, and that bezel is super useful for timing events.

Honestly I bought these with no expectations and though I am fortunate to have AP, PP, and Rolex watches amongst my collection, I am really enjoying these.

They wear like a like a 39mm Explorer, and my wrist size is 7.25.

If you're on the fence about these, don't delay!
