That's one of this watch I think it's beautiful, but it doesn't suit my style. The price is impressive for what you get (NH34, dial, hands...) Thanks for the review, Simon 😉

[@WatchtheTime]

I get that mate and have that problem with some other nice watches from time to time. Thanks for watching anyway 👍👍

[@Dave062YT]

I didn't like it at first glance but it's growing on me .nice review as ever mate .

[@WatchtheTime]

It’s a grower, not a shower 😂 Thanks for watching as ever my man 👍👍

[@briancolyer8483]

It's a braw watch, not my bag but cannot fault anything, except the lug width....solid offering....🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⌚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⌚

[@WatchtheTime]

Fair enough mate 👍👍

[@danspanos]

I may be crazy, but I seem to remember them selling this brand in department stores around here back in the 80's and 90's. They were always in the cheaper displays. I haven't seen them in a long time though. This isn't a bad deal for what you get!

[@WatchtheTime]

Oh really? That’s interesting 🤔 thanks for the info man and I hope you’re ok 👍👍

[@adk7962]

I think it’s a great concept , and I like the look. I just don’t personally like Roman Numerals. Maybe they can even make a Field Watch version also. Thanks for the great review.

[@WatchtheTime]

Good suggestion mate and let’s watch this space. Thanks for watching 👍👍

[@jasonbostock408]

nice the crown looks a bit fiddly but overall looks great for a gmt dress piece

[@WatchtheTime]

Exactly that mate but all in all, a great offering from a brand I’m not massively familiar with 👍👍

[@mattys1467]

Nice looking watch. Reminds me of the Cartier Ronde. The AR coating needs improving to be able to show off that dial better. Such a good price though. Top work 👏

[@WatchtheTime]

Good point mate and definitely something that was very, very close to appearing in my ‘pants’ section 👍👍

[@mojoe7951]

It’s a looker for sure. I do feel it needs an onion style crown though. This one looks tiddly

[@WatchtheTime]

That could work but at the least a bigger crown as this one feels undersized. Thanks for watching man 👍👍

[@mojoe7951]

@@WatchtheTime totally agree. It looks far more expensive that it’s actual price. Genuinely tempted

[@WatchtheTime]

@mojoe7951 for sure mate and I can see why 👍👍

[@spectrasouth]

Lovely dress GMT watch ... I received mine a few days ago and am very pleased with the finish. It appears to be a homage of the 2015 Frederique Constant Classic Automatic GMT as it is very similar, except for small differences in the hands and inner dial finish.

[@WatchtheTime]

Nice one mate I’m really, really pleased you’re enjoying the watch and you may well be right about the watch it’s drawn inspiration from 👍👍

[@zillsburyy1]

a good IWC alternative

[@WatchtheTime]

I couldn’t possibly comment mate but quite possibly 👍👍

[@WatchtheTime]

👍👍

[@EsoRimerCz]

Why the hell would you try to use 22mm on 21 lug? 20mm usually works for me.

[@WatchtheTime]

Quite simply because I don’t like a noticeable gap between the lug ends and strap 👍👍
