The Watch
Here we have a 2021 WMT Royal. Marine Blue Automatic "Submariner". You can see it takes its design cues and is inspired by the Tudor Submariner and Rolex 5513 Submariner. The 39mm 316L stainless steel case curves and tapers towards the drilled lugs, a lug-to-lug length of 47mm and a thickness of 14.5mm ensuring you a comfortable fit, polished and brushed surfaces have crisp separation lines. On the right side, a screw-down signed crown with crown guards. The bezel has knurled edging for grip and a blue aluminium 60-minute insert. A double-domed acrylic crystal protects a blue dial, lumed disc and baton indexes with faux patina mark the hours, and Mercedes's hands are complemented with a lollipop seconds hand, again lumed with faux patina. At 12 o’clock we have the WMT motif and at 6 o’clock 330ft = 100m Water Resistant Rotor with a smiley Hand-winding text similar to the Tudor Submariners. On the reverse, a screw-down case back with the WMT motif and serial number engraved into it, inside an automatic Miyota Cal. 8215, 21 jewels, 21,600 beats per hour. The watch comes fitted on a 20mm stainless steel 3-link rivet and screws Oyster style bracelet with a WMT folding clasp and the watch comes with its WMT presentation box, paperwork, spring bar removal tool and additional bracelet links.
Personal Note
I have owned and sold multiple WMT's over the years and will continue to do so, for me the designs are fantastic for the money and provide a glimpse into the long-gone vintage world that many could never attain, even those with the money struggle to find truly great original examples, so WMT fills the space nicely with sub-£500 homage's done to a very great standard.
