When I was very young my uncle was a 1st mate on a Trans-Atlantic grain ship and he loved everything marine related. Especially brass bells and brass decorative portholes. This watch reminds me of a simpler time, of those gorgeous portholes in my uncles den. Back when men had dens.
It is also the first watch in years that my wife did not say "It looks like a Rolex". It other words it is not like the usual watches I show her and she really, really likes it. As do I! The strap is very comfortable, thick and definitely high-end. Nothing about this watch says generic. From the lugs to the hands to the crowns. I am really smitten.
