embossed case-back, plus rubber straps, along with stainless steel bracelet

Dan Henry does it again. Love these. Favourite one is the gilt version.

Now, if I wasn't in middle of moving house and just fallen for the Nodus Avalon II, would get one if these

The white dial reminds me of my Omega Admiralty - which is to say I love it!

Those are well done. RMM, you are spot on with the resemblance!

It is the inspiration for it, he makes watches inspired by his (many) vintage timepieces. This omega is one of them

I really like all the versions of this watch, my favourite being the Gilt one. Nice short lugs, no date, very legible, what's not to like? Unfortunately my pet hate, the guys name as the logo.

+1 At least if he had a cool, European sounding name it wouldn't be half bad - like Louis Erard, Laurent Ferrier or Francois-Paul Journe. But Dan Henry doesn't have quite the same ring to it ;)

They really do have a timeless look don't they guys?! ;)

Each one of them brings something different to the table too. ..But it sounds like the
gilt, along with white version are in the lead with you guys so far. :) 8-) Both of them
are pure class to tell the truth, name/logo, and all. :grin:

Just don't let your pet lay eyes on the watch, that's the key Andy. :lol:

Oh, and Mike, can't thank you enough for the comparison to the Admiralty ! ..Holy cow,
you are right on ! ..Thanks so very much to all of you guys for chiming in on these !!!
