My newest addition to my collection. I've been eyeing on this for quite sometime, and I can understand why this is such a popular model/variant. Here are just a few amateur shots with my phone, just to share the passion.

And here are a few wrist shots....

I was worried that the case thickness might get in the way (it's about 14mm if not mistaken), as I am used to only wearing 11 to 12mm. But it seems ok and comfortable. Unfortunately, the ADs here have no choices for strap sizes, so I'll need to look for other sources for a shorter strap. My wrist is about 6.75". It's the holidays now and I've yet to wear this with my sleeves and cufflinks, it would be more challenging compared with slimmer watches. Looks and feels great with jeans and tshirt.
Overall, wrist presence is great, built quality is top notch and the simplicity of the dial and design is something that will not go out of style.
Thanks for reading!

I'm keen on trying it with a Santoni strap. The have developed more colours recently, and I think will require some testing to see how they match.

SS bracelet on a Portuguese? I'm afraid that's not an available option, and I doubt any of the IWC bracelet fits it well. but who knows, perhaps one day, a tastefully done bracelet may be possible. But personally, I'd still stick with the traditional leather strap for a navigator style watch like this.
