Hi Mike,


Thanks for the topic.Your pieces are beautiful indeed.İ like Graham especially for its unordinary standing.My choice from my Watches would be this IWC Deep Two.Very nice case and bezel  in my opinion.Great case diameter for me the bezel is ceramic and bicolor.Bezel is different with getting outer from the case.I hope you all enjoy it.<
