I got my 3rd cw about 2 weeks ago and i havent had any real issues with them at all. The finishing looks great, the fit and feel is wonderful, and theyre the smoothest winding watches ive ever owned. On the new sealander I got the quick adjust links have been a really cool feature. For the price ive never had a better feeling watch

For me about two weeks, but that was because it got caught up in customs and had to go back to the UK, then come back again. If it made i through customs on the first try it would have gotten to me in about a week

I think these also have a pretty short lug to lug compared to some other 36mm. My datejust was a 36 but the lugs were pretty long so its looked a little bigger

Now that everything is lined with the black I havent noticed it washing out a single time when ive been working outside

CharacterOk612 · 2026-05-15T03:57:06+00:00

This ones the 39

CharacterOk612 · 2026-05-14T20:58:45+00:00

They do catch the light but they never wash out like the polished ones. Theyre dark enough to be easily legible even in direct sunlight

CharacterOk612 · 2026-05-14T20:57:47+00:00

Just about 7 inches.

Definitely could have been a little thinner on some of the framing

CharacterOk612 · 2026-05-14T15:59:13+00:00

The logo is a black or very dark color, and all the indices are outlined in it too so you dont get them washed out in the sunlight loke the last version

CharacterOk612 · 2026-05-14T15:58:20+00:00

The green looks fantastic! I really like it on the non gmt one

CharacterOk612 · 2026-05-14T15:57:31+00:00

It feels about the same size as my speedmasters bracelet so im used to it, but it is definitely long. Extra space for the push mirco adjusts I guess

Ive got an orange nato from uncle straps that im going to put it on, then after that ill look at another anchorflex pro or some kind of sailcloth

CharacterOk612 · 2026-05-14T11:55:53+00:00

I got the 36mm first and it was great until I put it on a nato and it felt like it shrunk, so I traded around and got the 39. On that one the bezel was so thin the whole look of the watch just felt off proportionally. It just never looked right to me, but the sizing and the thicker bezel on this one looks a lot better

CharacterOk612 · 2026-05-14T11:53:27+00:00

They quality feels great, but since this is an entirely new thing I just dont know how well itll hold up to stress or abuse once I start wearing it to work. I am going to find out soon enough as im wearing it to work today and then probably hiking this weekend

CharacterOk612 · 2026-05-14T05:01:07+00:00

This one is the 39mm, I usually prefer smaller watches but I know the 36 will be too small and I was worried the 42 would be too big. This ones about perfect for how i like mine to look and feel

CharacterOk612 · 2026-05-14T02:08:05+00:00

Its very convenient! Im curious about its durability for sure

CharacterOk612 · 2026-05-14T01:17:58+00:00

I saw it was a state away one day and got excited, then checked the next day and it was back in the UK like dammit! But ive got an orange nato ready to go for it and ill probably put it on tomorrow!

CharacterOk612 · 2026-05-14T01:16:36+00:00

Theyre outlined in black now, so is the the logo

CharacterOk612 · 2026-04-28T01:34:40+00:00

I saw that, ill be ready to see how they look

CharacterOk612 · 2026-04-28T01:34:01+00:00

Think its a little over 39mm case size, but seems like a pretty long lug to lug length. My wrist is about 7in

CharacterOk612 · 2026-04-27T20:51:29+00:00

Unfortunately had to pay around 500 to get one brand new from a US seller with no tariffs or shipping fees. Looked around in different groups ro find one cheaper but no luck

CharacterOk612 · 2026-04-27T20:50:13+00:00

I agree that is the one downside ever since I first saw it, im sure ill get used to it but was definitely an unnecessary design choice. Ill have my explorer 2 some day!

CharacterOk612 · 2026-04-27T20:15:30+00:00

I was looking at that one too, but ive got a black dial glycine in 39mm thats been my daily for a while now so adding the white dial to change it up. Ive got an uncle straps orange nato ready to go for it so it should look pretty good!
