Looks great in the picture.

Bamford does watches together with the OEMs. Tag Heuer, GP etc.

I know. I just don't get the point of modifying a watch/car so far. Hardly anything of the underlying watch left.

I mean they clearly would be able to just build a watch on their own. They basically did here. Kind of sad that they feel they need the Rolex name on the dial to sell this. It would be more brave to just use the skills they seem to have to do their own thing.

Fellow lefty here. Don't limit yourself to watches with left hand drive. I actually like that the crown is more protected and never wind my watches while wearing them anyways. And if it's not a screw down crown even that is possible.

commented on Cartier Tank Must XL for casual wear? ·

Cartier sizes are like french clothing sizes. The XL ist not an extra large watch by the standard of other brands.

I own the Must XL and it is simply amazing. The dial as you mentioned is just stunning. I prefer is vastly over the previous Solo XL's white dial.

I wear a suit maybe 2 times a month for work. It does not stop me from wearing the Tank constantly with more casual outfits. Not with shorts and t-shirts, but my standard look is an Oxford shirt and dark jeans. I feel it works perfectly and slightly elevates this more casual style.

If you have not checked out the video by you're terrific on YouTube I suggest you do. He also pairs it with more casual styles.

I posted this picture before on the forum, but here is my tank with a striped Oxford and a khaki field jacket:

If it is supposed to be your forever piece, resale value of the explorer should not matter. Tough choice to make still. I would stick with the speedy.
