Tandorio 36mm 200m NH35a auto / sapphire mil-style
At roughly $85CDN w/bracelet I figured I'd try the bracelet version.
There's nothing wrong with the bracelet--it's actually a decent enough build, except it's a butterfly clasp and so it's either right on the money, or it's too loose or too tight because removing links doesn't allow for any sort of fine-tuning the size. It's not on the money, for me.
So, it's on a strap, now, and for the money I spent, I'm still a very happy camper. (And the bracelet may work for me on another watch, so, no big loss there.)
I love the 36mm size, and it appears to run easily within my accuracy requirements at a day at work.
Stainless case, screw crown, sapphire crystal and the typical 12/24 mil look. The red second hand is a nice touch, too.
It's not finished as well as, say, a San Martin but I bought this for a work watch, so I'm not disappointed.
11 days from order date to arrival in scenic Peace River, Alberta--and there's nothing wrong with that, either.

Good choice, sir. And since it's a work watch, you could even put it on all sorts of nylon straps. Congrats and enjoy!
