This and the 50th are my favourites - the 45th is a bit blah to my way of thinking and maybe even more childlike than the 30th and the 50th - dunno, just me I suppose - but I would have one 😁 so I get it I guess.
And to finish, the mandatory wrist shot. It was a close run thing between this and the Moonwatch professional. The Pro is a bigger watch that wears slightly smaller, whereas this is a smaller watch that wears slightly bigger . Initially I thought that the Pro fitted better and I nearly pulled that trigger. But, the dial on the 57 just grabbed me. That and the fact I had my 57th birthday last week ( this was by way of a belated present to myself)- just seemed meant to be. Also, and this is stupid, the 57 reminds me of a time where things were more graceful that they appear to be now( a feeling I generally strive to achieve but fail miserably at). The Pro to me is a symbol of one of Mankind's greater technical achievements.I realise the tourists will say that this one is too big for me , and a bit of me probably agrees. But I think I can pull it off , and the other factors were just so compelling. Thank you for your patience 😀
Forgot to say- I've never been a bracelet guy- always changed to leather strap. But damn, this one is the most comfortable one I've ever had- it's staying.
