Good afternoon, WatchEx! Second for today, a favorite of mine: the Fears Brunswick Salmon in 38mm, with bracelet and two extremely nice OEM Leathers. Easily my favorite brand to handle, wear, and sell - my praise for Fears knows no bounds. These watches have a charm unlike any other I've experienced at this price, and a quality to match. I keep finding myself stumbling into the copper dial, only to later decide I don't need two stunning copper dials in my personal rotation (Sinn 356 Floeger II.) I'm thinking it's finally time to order the Fears Redcliff in Pewter that I've been fawning over for months. There's not a lot I can say that the photos won't tell you about how beautiful this watch is, so I'll try to keep this brief. I'm a huge fan of how this is put together - the raised Arabic numerals are absolutely perfect with this type of watch. Fears' unique eye-dropper hands are a dynamic blued tone, that can appear black in the right [absence of] lighting. The numerals have a similar quality - a deep anthracite in normal lighting, and a lighter silver in direct light. Fears and I share an ideology on watch straps as well - your watch is composed of roughly 2/3 strap, so why settle for anything but the best? The leather straps included with this watch suit it *perfectly.* They source their leather from a family-run atelier in Belgium - check 'em out [here. ($135 retail)](https://www.fearswatches.com/en-us/collections/hand-made-goat-leather-watch-straps/products/bristol-black-watch-strap) **Note: the black leather is shorter, best suited for a maximum of 7". The hazel strap will fit between 7-8.5". I'm happy to reduce the price if you'd rather omit either/both straps.** It's fits like a glove on my 6.75-7" wrist - Fears will tell you that there's not a flat surface on the watch, and it was designed to contour to a wrist, rather than be an uninspiring flat slab of steel. I seriously cannot praise this design enough. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner/director of Fears (Nicholas Bowman-Scargill) at a RedBar meetup in Portland a few weeks back, and I can genuinely say he is the best person I've met in the industry. His passion and love for watches and Fears are unparalleled. Nicholas rejuvenated the Fears brand a short seven years ago, after the brand had laid dormant for 36 years. His great-great-great grandfather, Edwin Fear, started the brand and had a very successful run, passing the company down two generations before closing up shop in the 70's. Their modern lineup pays great respect to their original watches - but with a modern flair and attention to detail you don't often see within this price bracket. I'll cut my lecture on Fears' horological significance and brand heritage there (I could truly go on for hours,) but I'd highly encourage you to take a look at them if you've got a few minutes to burn: [Fears Heritage](https://www.fearswatches.com/en-us/pages/heritage) Quick Specs: - Reference: Brunswick 38 Salmon - Stainless Steel Case - 38mm Case - 10.7mm Thin - 20mm Lug Width - 10atm/100m Water Resistance - Sapphire Crystal - Movement: ETA 7001 Handwound - Complete set, card dated 7/2023 - Includes an invitation to the Fears Owners Club - exclusive watch offerings, sales, straps, info, etc. - Excellent condition, no noticable marks.

Zelle preferred, PP F&F or wire are also accepted. Tons of refs on here, hundreds more on various reputable watch groups on Facebook. Sale heavily preferred, will consider trades around the $3k mark. Selling to fund another Fears model. Thanks for looking - Cheers!
