Cheers buddy. I love this watch - it replaced one identical, that I had to sell (for various reasons) a few years back.

Regarding age…… absolutely no clue whatsoever!!?? Sorry…..

wouldn’t even know where to start trying to figure that out!? 🤷🏼‍♂️😉

Personally, whether sports watch, dress watch or whatever - I always find myself looking at my watch when someone asks me the date!?

In a nutshell - I prefer a watch that shows the date, if you can add the day - even better !! BUT, if it has neither ….. it’s a watch!! What’s not to love. 🤷🏼‍♂️😉🤣😂

Another specialist watch maker here in the UK producing timepieces directly for specialist branches of the British military.

Rick solid (bomb proof - look it up😳) and reasonably priced.

The Holton Professional is the “real deal”.
