Two great watches. Congratulations!
How does the mantaray dial wear? If the case dimensions were smaller, I would’ve snatched it up long time ago.

I keep missing 237's when they pop up, I saw one in real life and it's absolutely stunning, one of the nicest re-issues I've seen- Congrats !

Thanks for the kind responses. Still not sure how to quote people separately and don’t want to spam the thread with separate responses.

The Manta definitely wears a little larger as the bezel slightly overhangs the watch and the lug to lug is longer as compared to the 237.

In terms of height the 237 sits higher on the wrist but that mainly because of the nato strap. The two straps it comes with are very high quality and definitely make this watch wear more comfortable.

It’s hard to be critical of both of these because I’m definitely still in the honeymoon period but I can see myself keeping these for a while.
