    I’ve always loved these, and would jump at the chance, too.

    Congratulations!

    I decided to allow a small impulse buy on Tuesday when I saw this one in two different mall stores (somewhat surprisingly)..

    I really do love the dial... the crown is 'king', and the movement display is impressive as well. Lotsa ‘bang for the buck’ with this one :thumbsup:.

    But I didn’t buy either store watch...

    Nope. Instead, I found an amazingly well-priced one on Amazon!

    Should be with me in a few days...

    Depending on how much I like it on the wrist, it may end up as a Christmas gift to a family member... or NOT :D !!

    My first Connie.

    Many, many thanks to OF and the distinguished member kind enough to part with such a beautiful piece.

    Well worth the two weeks wait whilst she journeyed from San Francisco via UPS to Saline, Michigan, hand carriage across the pond to Heathrow, Cambridge, Leamington and finally to Shoreham where the glorious winter sunshine seemed to know there was something special to shine upon.

    Kind of lifts the spirits don't you think?

    Succumbed to temptation on an advance purchase :rolleyes::

    BALTIC_AQUASCAPHE_Black_Cream-tropic.png

    I adore the dial finish, sandwich-layer quarter indices, simple bezel, 39mm size...

    I already know Baltic's wonderous fit and finish (my Bicompax), so I'm sure it won't disappoint...

    It was a tough decision vs. this other dial choice:

    ...and I might still pull the trigger on both, and send one back!
