I knew you had big wrists but is this not a bit overdoing it?

The Sub I can understand but that Chinese (no offense) orange dialed timepiece that rides on top of the retro-boom wave... Vintage Doxas are, of course, a totally different matter all together

Of course I would not refuse a modern 600T or a Sharkhunter if given one

Personally I dig Old School better what comes to watches as back in the day they were designed to fit a purpose - not to fit a market segment or a specific position on a brand portfolio.

Just look at that tool watch of Mr. Maisey´s it is so purposeful it does not even have a light nor any lume for that matter
