Long time lurker
Long and short, I wanted something to celebrate my soon-to-be born 2nd son

Frankly, this watch was not even on the radar because I was worried about the size but it checked off so many things I wanted
  • classic Black bezel
  • Black dial
  • New 70 power reserve (this was important to me since I prefer not to wear watches on the weekends. This watch might change that)
  • The splash of color via the red “sea dweller”

I do have the MK2 dial (might be hard to tell with the pictures)
IMO, I think it wears slightly smaller than a 43 but you definitely feel the weight
People say it all the time but pictures really do not do it justice
Without further ado

-Kevin

Thank you all!

It’s truly a blessing to be able to have a child and also to be in a position to buy something like this

Looks good. Congrats. I picked mine up a couple of weeks ago and love it.
Interesting how the MK1 and MK2 are moving out into the market. My AD had just gotten the one I bought in and it has the MK1 dial. Not that it matters to me.
