This arrived today. A dressy field watch. Looks much better on this unused CW piccari strap (with blue lining). Now I realize there are a couple of unwiped marks on the crystal.

That looks pretty neat.
Sort of what Panerai might release if they did dress watches.
The Peccary is a good choice.

Re: Incoming -Mappin and Webb
It's not the peccary any longer. It's now a blue CW cordovan.
It actually came on a black genuine alligator strap. I didn't think the black worked well with the blue dial. The CW is a dark blue, but it's blue not black.
Additionally I do not like the M&W tang clasps. They have a difficult pin design, that is easy to insert but very difficult to extract, needing a severe fold on the strap, leading to creases very quickly. It's a shame with a decent alligator leather.

Sorry, missed this earlier in the week. What a lovely watch. I love the blue colour!
