I moved the post to http://www.timetechtalk.com/view_topic.php?id=20815&forum_id=2 Hey guys, I want to introduce the latest addition to my watch collection. After looking around for a tool watch that fit my sensibilities, I chose the Corvus Bradley for several reasons; gorgeous sapphire 15-30-45 bezel, no-date mil-dot dial, tegimented bead-blast finish, not-too-large 41.3mm diameter, and not too tall at 13.3mm. The straw that broke the camels back was the fact that Mike at Corvus said that he could make me up a destro version at the factory for no additional cost. According to Mike, it's the only one made in this configuration. Haven't setup for a good shot yet, so I'm uploading a quick and dirty wrist shot from my iPhone. Mike at Corvus was super nice and kept me updated with delivery times. Having worn it for a few days I'm hooked on it. The Bradley has a nice solid feel and fits well on my flattish 7-inch wrist. Being a professional programmer and stuff, I spend about 10+ hours a day at the keyboard and the destro option has been a real hand-saver. Now, if the Korsbek Hydro Explorer can just wait until October or so, my watch budget should be able to stay under control. :-) Attachment: corvus_on_wrist.jpg (Downloaded 140 times) Last edited on Tue Jun 1st, 2010 03:13 am by enkidu |

Nice to have the uniqueness and utility of the destro especially if you are chained to a keyboard for such long stretches. And yes, some better pix would be highly appreciated.

Thanks guys. Is this shot better? I don't have the time to get my camera out so again with my iPhone, but slightly better setup this time. On a Maratac Elite strap with blue stitching. Attachment: corvus_bradley.jpg (Downloaded 103 times)

Congrats on a awesome Corvus!....I have always liked this watch from the day I set eyes on it and as Chris said the left hand crown has made it more desirable imo...

Showed it to a co-worker today and I was surprised that he said it reminded him of the Blancpain Fifty-Fathoms. I told him that this was based on the original spec for the government contract for which Blancpain built the original FF. I'm really loving the simple clarity of the dial; all it takes is glance to see if I'm late/early to my next meeting. It isn't a BP FF, but it's smaller, has a better surface treatment and most of all has the crown in "right" side. One thing I like better on the FF is the font on the bezel; being a bit of a font nerd, I think the font on the reissued FF looks better and cleaner than the one on the Corvus, but the Corvus Bradley is truer to the original. Cheers!
