Looks quite good in my poorly educated opinion. I may be ordering this when/if it's released Also a panda and a blue dialled version planned. [/IMG]

They're a large watch B(43mm IIRC), but wear smaller and I've got scrawny wrists where 35-36mm would usually be my sweet spot. For normal sized humans they'd be bang on I reckon. They've a fair old reserve on a single wind. 48 hours kinda thing. And they don't have a date so less faffing about there. To be fair I like the ritual of handwinding and don't have any automatics among my mechanicals. For me the biggest issue with the Bunds are the overly "restored" examples that make up a lot of the market, that and too much variability with the red (3H) dials. I'd look for a civilian one, small T, no red (3H).

You can get amazon to ship the item to a US address and An Post then ship it to you (you'll definitely be paying VAT+duties of course). It's called AddressPal - I've used it for exotic camera lenses in the past and they've been good. ...perhaps I shouldn't be emptying your watch buying account :pac: but just can't resist "helping" people spend on watches

Normally it's used IT gear, like laptops, Chromecasts and the like, but this year I've decided to donate some unworn/unloved pieces, so will be offering up these 4, rather than selling them on Adverts:
