I got my MUT38 just before Christmas too ;-)
Whan I put it (for the first time) on my wrist looked hughe for 38mm.... now seems lika a perfect size.
Looks fragile....and I thought it would be just for special occasions. It just turned out that I did not take it off from my wrist since December 22 ;-)
Now it's my everyday watch.
It's descret, elegant and....plain. I like it. However I can see the problems rising on the horizont.... my JLC Master Geographic will became jelous ;-))
