The more I look at it
The more I like it. Just wish they have an extra strap option. ...
… thé more I don’t like it…. Unfortunately
Too far away from the vintage soul. A big fail for me, but it’s a question of taste. So if you like it… go. Best Ø

I agree these are awesome. They should have used these for early marketing materials.
I also like it a lot! I feel because it is called "70th anniversary" many people think that it should have been more faithful to the original.

Truly impressive!
I would have preferred without date, but this is beautiful in every respect. I even like the cool strap. I just didn’t realize it’s limited edition
A beautiful watch!

50 Fathoms 70th Anniversary
I managed to snag one, we will see how long the wait is, I too would prefer a more traditional strap option that would allow for viewing of the display back. MSB
