Yeah Grant it is a lovely stylish watch. When the odd time that I do wear it, quite a few people comment on it....understated style....certainly not in your face. Every couple of months I switch the auto winder on, just to get it moving and apparently you are supposed to anyhow.
It's a limited edition, no. 59 out of 500.
I had said to my friend how much I liked it and one day he just popped round and said...there's a present for you. I was well chuffed, he never wore it, only a couple of times so I got it.
Now I just want some one to turn up with a Dan D'Agostino master audio system that they never use......anyone?

This was my Dad's Rotary, I keep it running (change the battery when needed), never wear it though, a little small for my taste

A couple of other Rotarys, I sold the 'tank' but still have the 'skeleton' which I got for a song on ebay because it needed a new strap.

Always had a thing for the Submariner, but after owning (and selling) one...and getting the same vibe and enjoyment from non Rolex divers, the Seamaster catches my eye more nowadays.
Nice example that, like the orange...though crying out for a white dial imo!

Know what you mean about divers (although I have a Rolex sub), this is one of my favourites, slightly larger than the original but being made of titanium weighs basically nothing so very comfortable to wear & bought pre-owned from ebay for £70!Always had a thing for the Submariner, but after owning (and selling) one...and getting the same vibe and enjoyment from non Rolex divers, the Seamaster catches my eye more nowadays.
Nice example that, like the orange...though crying out for a white dial imo!
