I like it on mesh…the only 300 I would consider. I’m truly hoping they trick,out the new PO…really excited for a funky cool dial!
My wife’s Constellation took the last spot 🥺 but I’m giving my 2500 to one of my sisters so one (1) space only is opening up. It’s definitely a contender.
. . . had forgotten about this current British military Seamaster, Nicolas. If it's an issued piece there can't be many in circulation. Your chances of finding an issued ref 165.024 . . . [watch credit: Roger G / photo credit: Dr No, 2013] . . . are higher. Best, Art
