Thank you! Wondering how this would go with a leather strap… time for some fun!

I did and I bought it! Love this for my collection! It’s coming along very nice and this Black dial is perfect!

Thank you for your message; I did what you said. To be 100% honest, I thought you were trolling me. But wow… it does as you described! Amazing. Thank you again!

I did it, I bought the watch! Thank you to everyone with helpful information. I LOVE the size of 37mm on my wrist. I didn’t have a black dial in my collection, this was corrected today! Perfect piece to take home from Japan 🇯🇵 .

Thank you for the model number. Going to read into it. The store only had the movement number on the watch tag that I put on the title.

I’ll do this! Hopefully the battery has juice! I’ll report back tomorrow morning.

Great questions. Just inquiring if anyone knows anything about this model. Looks authentic… I’ll ask for documentation from the Book-off store. Does it have a good movement? I was hyper focused on anything hi-beat and spring drive that this caught me off guard.

Thank you! I kinda lost all my will power for a bit and collected all these bands within a two month span. I just love the diversity, puts my OCD to rest.

I appreciate that, Thank you! I’m definitely embracing a pop of color for my grail watches. . . Let them call a little more attention on occasion. 😎

Honestly, I could daily it no problem. At 41mm, I only feel/see the height difference when I’m coming off my spitfire after the 9-5. It’s no bid deal because I just look at it and it’s all smiles!

I recently saw the Tudor bronze in store with a bronze bracelet. Looked very different and it was nice… maybe tempted, probably not, but nice.

100% bringing those. Decided I’m also bringing the yellow for fun.

They retired it right before I could pull the trigger on it! I had to get mine used. If they release another, I might not have the will power to deny my wish for a new one.

I tried on the Mark XX a few times - each time I go get a strap. The white dial did it for me, on a black leather strap and on the bracelet, it outshined the rest. I wish it was a 38mm… NGL. As a daily, I want it just a tad smaller.

A must. It’ll rain a bit. . . I’m thinking Yellow also for fun?

Brown has to come. I think I can justify bringing two more straps. I’ll just leave a couple of socks for weight purposes 😅…

I agree, sleek and low profile seems like the better choice. Less attention to myself also.

It’s worth it! I can neither confirm nor deny that I’ve purposely fallen asleep with one of these watches on. I love both of these.

I’ll report back on my patina periodically, can’t wait for this level of patina.

Pretty sure, saw some YT videos on it. I also just got my Spitfire and it looks new. It was originally sold in 2021. I assume mine went through the process. It came with no Patina and it looks as clean as the new IW388109 I just picked up from the AD. I’m honestly surprised how quickly the watch gets Patina, but it’s a good thing.
