Tourby Marine Roman Custom 43
For sale is a Tourby Marine Roman 43 in excellent condition. The piece comes with an upgraded Tourby 74.3 manual wind guilloche movement, three Tourby alligator straps with signed buckles, and box and papers.

I purchased this beautiful watch ~2 years ago (original owner had it for ~3 years) and when I go more formal that a tool watch I usually reach for my Sinn 836.

I did also get a wonderful custom strap from Aaron Combat Straps in Montreal that the watch is shown on. The 3 Tourby straps that came with it are short, whereas I have a 7.5” wrist, so I got the custom strap and put a Tourby buckle on it.
