How big is it exactly? If it’s too big I will take it off your hands!
Often wondered how a rubber strap would look on a field watch - I think that choice works really well.

You have the wrist to pull it off. I think it'll look awesome!
I wish that watch were 38mm?

Great pick-up! I've wanted one of those for a long time!

I think I'd really enjoy seeing an overview thread of your collection.

I've spent the last few weeks travelling with the aptly-named Reise Resolute on my wrist. ("Reise" means "travel" or "journey" in German.)

This was the first Kickstarter from what is now RZE watches. The Resolute is a titanium tool/field watch.

Mine is the teal version. I picked it up after the Kickstarter because I dithered too long debating whether the watch was the right size for me and missed the window.

Image

(All pics from the web, variety of sources.)

Long story short: I love this watch. It's light, clean, rugged, fits well and has become my "grab and go" piece in preference to other higher-end pieces. I've dropped it, bashed it, the kids have hung off it, the dog slobbered on it. It's been in the desert, sea, pool and rain. It hasn't missed a beat and doesn't have a scratch on it.

My only, very minor niggle is that the teal dial - which I love - doesn't scream "office". So....now I have one of these incoming:


Image

It's the old version, which I prefer, with the wordmark "Reise" as opposed to the new, stylised RZE "R".

I'm disproportionately excited about getting it and will stick it on the (excellently made) RZE titanium bracelet.

Online or offline, I find I don't redefine
Too big to fail or yard sale they all hale

Yup - it's such a fun watch and an unusual colour. I've really enjoyed having it on whilst travelling.

Even if I wanted to sell it, there's no real second-hand market where I am and shipping costs are prohibitive, so I'd be stuck with it in any event!
