Thanks! No screw down crown, but still 100m WR rated; spec-wise it’s probably the one thing it’s missing to make a perfect all-rounder. I also like the fact that the butterfly clasp has an adjustable clasp - only one position, but still... Likewise, the deployant for the leather strap has the same thing (less useful than on a bracelet admittedly, but still...).

Non CW of the Day

Is it an IWC?

Image

No, it’s a Melbourne Watch Co Burnley. The dial is a fabulous green colour (and really is a lovely green) but 90% of the time the dial looks black - only occasionally do you see a flash of green as it catches the light.

Image

Anyone looking for a black dialled watch would be perfectly happy with it. ImageImage Even though I was expecting a green dialled watch, I nonetheless like it. It runs a Miyota 9015 and seems to be built very well indeed. I’d dismissed their earlier models as mere fashion watches, but they’ve improved in leaps and bound of late - this is a great example of that improvement. This is what it mostly looks like (excuse the shocking photo).
