Yeah but why would you even wear a watch while playing polo if you can only see piece of metal? :p Same as Panermaniac, I love the watch but although I've been reading about its history, I still don't really understand it.
Because when you get used to it you can flip it back and forth in half a second to check time remaining. Also it's safest on your wrist isn't it? Then there's that dig in darkest Egypt you intend going on next season, one must protect one's timepiece from stray boulders whilst digging up all those artefacts.

Have been looking to add a refined styled dress watch to my collection and far as appearances go this fits the bill. A long slender case vintage deco styling uncluterred face with markers of nice patina. Even without the reverso mechanism I would love it. Not familiar with the mechanics of the watch but is it not possible to expect makes will come out with auto versions??

Yes, boulders can give problems. see @4:20 :

Just received the QC pictures for mine, which look fine, so I've asked PureTime to ship the order it's in.
Here's a sample:

Did you ordered the croco strap or the leather one?

Leather. I will wait to check the width and safe delivery, and then find a croc strap elsewhere. I haven't ordered the polo mallets or train of ponies yet.

Agree, I might do the same or get the Vietnamese strap maker to do a gen croc for 30 odd bucks!

^ Really that small huh? OK i will pass. I cant wear any watches < 40mm. Rolex Sub or SD4000 is the smallest I can go.
