Incoming! Well...really it just arrived.
JUST IN!!

The ultra rare 1530 date with original bracelet. 😀. Maybe only 500 to 1500 ever made.

I love that it looks like an oyster quartz...but it's not.

Thanks Jacek and the boys over at HQ Milton.

Thanks guys!!!

You know this is 36 mm. I thought it might look a bit small on my wrist. But because of the nice big bracelet, I think it looks great.

Although it says "Date" on the dial, it's actually 36mm.
