In my search for a totally bling-free wristwatch, I came across this:

Although a ladies watch, the diameter of the case is sufficiently large for me. The ultimate minimalist 'sterile dial' watch? (Actually the version with a black face and white hands looks much better IMO).
I like a nice minimalist dial too. That one reminded me of my Mondaine Swiss Railway watch, not as simple but a nice, clean dial.Quote:

I actually intended to go clothes shopping today, well that was until I passed a branch of Ernest Jones jewellers.
After a sneaky peek through the window at something that caught my eye, I walked out with this..

The strap actually does feel and look like a racetrack.
That is a lovely, lovely watch. Is someone going to be in trouble for their fiscal disobedience?
Could have been more expensive:Quote:

I was very tempted by the Gulf version, limited edition I think, but other half dragged me out of the Tag shop. Waited till she wasn’t looking & popped in Goldsmiths for an Explorer 2.Quote:

More or less, the original was a little smaller. There are a number of alternative designsQuote:

Judging by your regular posts, I'm not sure you need any excuse to buy a watch.!Quote:

Something a little different through the post today, never seen a watch designed specifically for natos before.

Thanks Pete.
The watch was gaining six minutes an hour! Took the back off and regulated it and it’s fine now.
Today sterile dial sub homage on brown leather strap.
