Hopefully it doesn't... Ha ha.
We've been together for 10 years now, hope it doesn't change too much.

I would say go Striking 10th but try it on first (it wears a bit big for a 42mm).

You already have a sub and the others are all (at least to me) somewhat similar (might be a case type/shape thing). I tried a striking 10th on a short time ago and have to say it is a beautiful piece. It would be a complete departure from everything else on your list as a chrono and that fantastic multi colored dial.

Thanks, I'll try it on next week. Wouldn't mind looking at it on a rubber strap for more causal occasions. Hmmm

Bit of an update...
The watch search has been put on a halt for the next two weeks. In saying that its either the 114060, 116610ln, PO LM LE or the striking tenth.
I Played rugby on the weekend and snapped my acl, and medial ligaments in my knee!
Operation required next week in time for me to be able to walk before the wedding. Future Mrs ain't happy.
Thanks all for the wedding wishes, i appreciate it.

Okay. While laying here in a hospital bed, I've nailed it down to the following 4.
Pics are not mine, borrowed off various sources:




Cannot try it on before buying, but I'm leaning toward the jlc, with the sub close behind.

Great wedding idea. I got married on the beach and wore a Sub. A polar Exp2 might be a good option also since you have a sub: it's white, can also take a beating for your line of work..
