Resistance is futile

Don’t wait much longer. This is a great reference. I have always preferred the RG version with this Olive Green dial but lately I have come to realise that the WG version has a slightly more contrasting dial/ indices combo (I find it easier to read). And also more under the radar. If I were you, I’d pull the trigger on this one. It’s definitely a keeper.

I fully agree 👍🏻

I need to play a little bit longer with the maths, and we'll see... 😅

It's stunning in person. I believe that it's also very versatile, not too green. [nt]
