On a walk down the beach as the winter sun was low in the sky. It’s been almost a month since I got the watch and I’m really enjoying its characters. Thanks for looking. D.

Thank you

As you say the silver really has a warmth (and as you may see from the layers warmth is good)

Nice photo

Congrats on your new acquisition. It’s a great watch. I acquired mine late last year and have worn it a lot the past few months. I have found it be very versatile and comfortable. It’s starting to tarnish a little, mostly around the lugs (not sure why there in particular), but I fully expected that and it doesn’t bother me at all. The taupe color dial is lovely. Enjoy it.
