A non-Heuer that I really love

I bagged this a month or so back and I've been wearing it a lot. I've just taken some pics, it's on a non-standard strap, which I think suits it rather well. I have to say, I'm smitten with it, and it makes a great 'do anything go anywhere' watch. It is big, at 46mm, but it really doesn't feel that big on the wrist - and I really mean that, it's rather comfy and wears more like a 42mm diver.

It is available in a 42mil version, but that has a date window at 3, and I like the date window at 6 on this 46 model, for obvious reasons!

The 'Heritage' looks really are lovely, and the dial is something else - it's a matt-satin-ish finish, like liquid in some light, but in other light it appears to have a very faint starburst effect. I don't quite know how this is happening, as there definitely isn't a starburst finish to it, must just be a trick of the light. The quality is superb, I love the little touches, like the 18k gold 'B', which really sets it off nicely.
