    ... though can be had for about half of that pre-owned; BUT.... its spec shows 45mm.

    I like that one a lot but the 45mm seemed a bit big. Doable but not ideal.
    Once in awhile you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    That is a nice one. The layout of the dial is clean and uncluttered. I’m thinking if the bezel was a bit thinner it might not wear so big.

    In an unheard of reversal of The Normal Way Things Go the package arrived today, a full day ahead of scheduled delivery. To say I’m pleased with what was inside would be a serious understatement. Despite the seller’s caveat of some wear marks on the case I can’t find a single one, even with my loupe. The piece is everything I’d hoped for and more. I’m over the moon.

    Fast indeed, full circle, and what a cool watch! Well done.
    Too many watches, not enough wrists.

    I am nothing if not an unreconstructed impulse buyer. That's bad enough when it comes to socks and chocolate bars. When it gets into spendy stuff like watches that's when it becomes cause for concern.
