Jason Lewis –
I wasn’t trying to make a statement with it; I wanted something I could actually use regularly. The design is fairly restrained, with 40mm case and date display providing the main point of interest. The description was useful for comparing this version with the other choices. The Rolex styling is close to what I was looking for. For what I was looking for, this does the job nicely.
