Sample review
The listing said hairlines on the case sides and there were hairlines on the case sides. Nothing more, nothing less. That is the whole reason I would buy again.
Sample review
Sent photographs on a Tuesday evening, had a written figure with the reasoning by Wednesday lunchtime. The money was in my account the day I dropped the watch off. No games.
Sample review
Three months on a waiting list elsewhere. Wristly found an unpolished example in five weeks and talked me out of a cheaper one with a redialled face before I could get attached to it.
