Haven't worn this one for awhile....

This one is the survivor in our collection. Doesn't get worn much anymore, but we both love it and it's safe to say, now, that it'll never be sold







Strapped it on today. At 42mm of all dial it sure feels huge after my Explorer Roland Murphy makes some beautiful watches. I'd love to own more of his work

I had to go back and take another look before I got it, too.

BTW, nice watch, Bruce. It's a good looking piece.

Very nice Bruce, but a question. If you have two watches and Tam has two watches, who does that belong to, Josh?
