I've been looking for a decent colour-face watch that will look good as a more "dressy" watch for special occasions. It'll be my second big watch purchase. [This one](https://www.sherwoodwatches.com/product-page/commander-green) caught my eye as, being from Nottinghamshire myself, I like the design and the fact that it pays subtle homage to the city. Obviously it's a new microbrand, but it's got some good reviews (see [here](https://wristwatchreview.co.uk/sherwood-commander-review) for example) and some nice specs - a Miyota 9039 Automatic movement and a double-dome sapphire crystal. What do you guys think? Any words of caution/encouragement?

I fell out of love with smart watches and decided to get a nice mechanical. This came with a black Milanese strap which I swap out for a black sailcloth for regular use. I've got the bug now: I want a quartz chronograph (love the Tissot PRC200), a colour face watch for occasions (I'm eyeing up the [Sherwood Commander](https://www.sherwoodwatches.com/product-page/commander-green) as it's a microbrand local to me) and I'd love a nice Farer watch as well. It's gonna take time to save for all that though and I'll likely change my mind along the way.

Best crumpet toppings.

    Was recently in Sweden. A swede recommended the combo of cheese and English marmalade on toast.

    Sounds deeply weird but it's surprisingly nice. Can confirm it also works as a crumpet topping.
