I'm just head-over-heels in love wi' this one..

Sure they're faux wire lugs, using conventional (16mm) springbars. But that's A-OK, as it gives The Look of the classic wire-lugged trench watch, yet retains the convenience of springbars.

Quite well-made, as you'd expect..

..wears "just right" at 37mm X 45mm. I fear this one's a keeper.
