New watch, just couldn't resist.

I have been wanting one of these for ages. I must admit that I wanted a green one after seeing the stunning photos from Art, Michelle and other owners but, sadly, that ship has sailed. I was in Leeds today and happened in the local AD when I saw the black faced one. I of course, convinced myself that I didn't "need" it, nope, not going home with me, I have enough watches.

As an aside, I always thought that this watch would be too big for my wrist, I have a flat 6.5 inch wrist. The watch is tall but, because of my shape of wrist, sits nicely and doesn't look big in height or face size.

So, without further ado, here is my latest watched, chuffed to bits is an English saying meaning, I am absolutely thrilled. I will make this a drawn out reveal.

Or maybe not.

Great pick up Dave, congrats! I want one of these as well. It really wears great, not as large as its stats would suggest.
