New watch

Christopher Ward C63 Sealander. I purchased it in London as a souvenir for that trip but the size and dial I wanted were out of stock so it just arrived. Definitely on the conservative side, but I bought it as a GADA watch (go anywhere do anything).
Pictures don't fully do it justice. They did a really artful job on the case between brushed and polished finishes and the markers are multi-faceted so you get a lot of depth and sparkle when you look at the watch as your wrist rolls over to see the dial.
My only issue is I have a tiny little bird wrist, which is a problem for watch collectors in general. I had to remove every removable link. It does have tool-less micro adjust on the bracelet but I'm at the largest setting. So I can make it a little smaller but no larger without adding a link back. If I add a link then the smallest setting on the micro adjust is too large. So I either need to gain or lose a few pounds
but it does fit comfortably where its set. I have one other nicer watch with a micro adjust bracelet and it fits when its set right in the center, so I get sizing in both directions. Not the case here but I found a fit.
Here's a marketing photo of the markers and hands to give a better sense of finish.
