Nicholas Wright –
Rather than going for the most eye-catching version, I settled on this one. I was pleasantly surprised by how natural black dial and 40mm case looks when worn. The ordering process was straightforward and I didn’t have any trouble finding the information I needed. My first impression has been positive.
