Thanks, MTF. I have gained so much more from the Purists than I have given. I hope this quick look inspires others to explore this brand.

Thanks for sharing your impressions on this less written about watch here! RL has to be lauded for going into size ranges that most others fully abandoned and the result is very pleasing.

Congrats on your acquisition. I find the dial has just the right mixture of joy and class; much like the Vacheron Driver is a classy piece but also quite the conversation starter. Wear in the best of health!
