Yes, something a little different with an internal rotating bezel turned by a second crown.

Apparently it's a 'compressor' type?

Really pleased with it though, early birthday present to myself (after all you're not 62 every day ;) ).

One of my original acquisitions, could never get the bracelet to fit right but persevered and it's quite comfortable now.

With thanks to Roy S for his opinion, I bought this little watch with a supposedly 1000m water proof depth!
It’s quartz as I couldn’t be bothered to go through the wear it or wind it malarkey, plus it’s far more accurate than any Rolex I’ve ever owned, and that’s a few!

They were selling for a very modest £76, but somehow I chose the wrong postage method and ended up paying £97 because of added taxes etc.

You're welcome, hope you enjoy it.

Here's the white faced/auto/bracelet version, not been down a kilometre with it but it's been in the deep end of the bath :D

Ok, a grain of pearl barley & a split pea.

All this talk of soup has lead me to collate all the ingredients for a stew later.

Postman brought this today, I've changed the strap but not sure if this one works?

Xerics arrived. Quite nice actually.

Just fits on last hole but tight. Will probably put another strap on it. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...06a845946e.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a7a1fd812a.jpg

Note the difference in name.

Mine is a homage and thus homage prices. Yeah the real McCoy is 500 bucks. Mine was 10%. Still, it's quite nice and does make me interested in a real one.

My other GMT this has the nato strap.

Yep, brown leather strap goes better with the gold & that nato suits the gmt homage.

Been messing about with straps myself, not normally keen on natos but this one looks ok on this little field watch.
