My short, uneducated review...

Hey all, I recently purchased a watch from the Timewalker collection (see earlier post). First, let me mention this is the first watch I have paid more than 200 dollars for, and since I am married to Mr. what-the-hell-its-just-a-watch, this is saying something. The watch arrived in a plain black box containing a 416 page service guide in 10 languages. I admired it for a bit and then I put it on. At 42mm, the watch is large even for me...lover of big watches, but in a good way. I decided to test drive it at work. The first comment I received was, "thats a huge watch", this from my boss. My reply, "thanks, I like watches." Hehe. I am a nurse and taking apical pulses was a breeze thanks to the clear black dial with large silver numbers! The watch is not too heavy but I did find myself banging it against surfaces occasionally. I have very small wrists at barely 5 in. so the watch sits a bit loose on me...my only gripe, although the straps are comfortable. I find myself readjusting it on my wrist quite often. My other concern was keeping the watch "clean". I put my hands in some strange places at times. I would remove it but I am notorious for losing things at work (hence my stethoscope collection) so not an option. I have taken to wearing larger gloves that cover more of my wrists which makes wielding needles a bit tricky I'm kidding One small item...I adore the MB logo on the crown. I'm a sucker for detail. Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase and looking forward to many years with it. Thanks for reading! Now let me go see if I can get husband to stop shaking his head and staring at his wallet.
