The hobnail bezel is really nice. I’ve never owned a watch with a hobnail bezel but I think there might be one of my future. It exudes class. Where in the best of health. Congratulations.
Thanks FabR!

Though im sure I will get it in the end, but your insight made it more comfortable to make that decision. I'm loving every second of it except... The strap 🙈. Personally think the colour is a little too conservative and the cracks doesn't look as nice as ...
