Whilst writing MB AND F…

Long story short, I looked at Independents early this year as I hit a dry spell of new watches, and following the announcements and a few disappointments from a few dealers, I researched and decided to jump right into the world of MB and F and Urwerk - and I was lucky to participate in a Sotheby’s auction which had different models - et voila - here I am wearing this Urwerk, and am extremely delighted with the service experience.

Perhaps one of the most fun of owning an Urwerk, is that when I come across another person who knows about the brand, I feel like I make a new friend who has as much passion about watches as I do!

Cheers and have a great weekend!

Peter

Welcome to WristScan ! That’s a great Explorer, one of my favourite Rolex sports models. Have you had this one for long ?

Thanks Captain

 
 By: jrbar-on : August 6th, 2021-19:42
I purchased it in December 2020 and love it. IMHO one of the best Rolex models made and not nearly as common as a Sub. Cheers, Jonathan

I completely agree..

 By: Sfwatchlover : August 7th, 2021-18:32
It is a versatile watch as I went shopping, went to the office and went swimming with it. The timing accuracy is about 1.4 spd which is beyond my expectation. I got the rubber strap too and I will try that soon. Enjoy your weekend, everyone! ...

Ok let's settle for rather tatty t shirt. From a more bike orientated brand - but think there's a lot of commonalities in the sentiment. Cheers JML ...  

He llo dea JML! I feel we tend to develop an special fondness for some T shirts for different reasons. I know that so well. I keep some I don´t wear for years but not dare to give them away.

 
 By: Subexplorer : August 8th, 2021-14:19
