Exciting new watchmaker

English movement, accurate to twice a day. Unique one piece strap/movement/case construction.

So I treated myself to my first (serious) watch (Explorer 39mm) and thought my toddler would like something for his wrist. Name:  ImageUploadedByTapatalk1413380413.376233.jpg

Thank you all. I never intended to/thought I would buy a Rolex - had something completely different in mind originally. Will write up a 'how I came to this watch' if it might be of interest at some point in the near future.

While personally not a big fan of the blue and yellow combo, I will say that I find the clay model highly legible. ...Lets see what else they come out with at Basel.

At least there can't be any complaint about the size of the blue Sub's hands...
