Have you seen this Harrod’s Black Bay?

It's a collab edition of the 79230 with Harrods of London. I had the black bezel version of this watch - great looking textured black gilt dial, but I never did like the way the watch wore. Very thick and the side of the case opposite the crown is just a thick wall of steel. The 22 mm lug width with only 2 mm taper bracelet doesn't help the chunkiness. Aside from looking big, I never thought it comfortable on wrist at least to me (this is purely my personal experience with the watch mind you). In fact, I just got rid of my 79320 after owning for just shy of 5 years and wearing it very seldomly.

I still have a BB58 Blue which actually is a very comfortable and well-proportioned watch. I will say I think the green they use for the bezel insert for the Harrod's special ed. is excellent and the bit of green text on the dial and tip of the seconds hand is excellent. I've never seen one in the flesh.
