Of the 5-piece lot of Victorinox watches I had to choose from, I selected this one as a keeper not because I'm a huge fan of 2-tone watches (though my collection is gettin' pretty deep in the 2-tone department! ), but for the simple fact that I had two of 'em. That allowed me to rob links from one bracelet in order to get the other around me Caveman Wrist.

It's "modern gent's standard-sized" at 40mm X 45mm X 10mm and, though it is a full SS case, the back is still a snapin. Mind you, ye'll never pop one o' these casebacks into place with mere finger pressure. Nay! I nearly sprained me thumbs tryin'! (A Caveman with his opposable thumbs out of commission? Oh! The Horror! )

ENNYway.. caseback press most definitely required, and a stout one at that.

While I did take photos of the spare, there's no point in showing them, since the pair are absolutely identical, except the other is 3 links (!) shorter of bracelet.

All in all quite a pleasing little piece..

..and I'm mildly surprised at how much I'm diggin' it.
