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) |

looks perfect to me, I'll take it! ... oh wait you just got it! Congratulations I've been keeping an eye on that since they first started talking about it, a destro model is even better!  |

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! |

Destro is Italian, it means it goes on the right hand, made for the right hand or the right side or to the right side - as opposed to the left. So the crown is on the side of the watch as if one was wearing the watch on the right hand and able to adjust it with the left hand. Last edited on Wed Jun 2nd, 2010 12:24 pm by carlottt |

That bezel is neat, is it like domed all the way round? Better shot and great catch. |

Thanks! Yes. It is domed all around. It magnifies the numbers slightly when viewed directly. I'm really liking the Bradley's combination of toughness and polish. |
