Allcard eloquently articulates his profound appreciation for the sea's beauty and the freedom it provides from modern civilization.

Delivery information: Ships from Smartfox NZ, ensuring fast and reliable service to your doorstep.Sailing six thousand miles in eighty days, Allcard makes the classic southern route trade-wind crossing westward, and not without incident-severe gales, thief-catching in Spain, avoiding a seductive blonde in Gibraltar, encountering sharks and shoals of flying fish, and narrowly escaping falling overboard to his death when knocked out by gear falling from aloft. Allcard's plan to dodge the worst of the hurricane season on his return voyage is not accommodated by the elements. Through gales and headwinds, and one terrible storm, he takes seventy-four days to reach the Azores from New York, arriving minus his mizzen mast, desperately exhausted, injured, and hungry. The next leg, to Casablanca, is enlivened by a female stowaway, before he makes a safe return to England. Whether describing the pleasures or the trials, the phosphorescent nights or the storms, the operation of his ship or his own introspections, Edward Allcard eloquently conveys his deep appreciation of the sea, and the escape from modern civilisation it offers him.

Well-Built, Masculine, Watch and Jewelry Case
Color: Espresso, Color: Espresso
The description here on Amazon is very accurate, but I have to say the quality is beyond what I expected! The material is soft with a nice leather feel to it. And the small details, from the stitching to the hinges to the clasp appears to be very high-quality. It came in a very nice package, and was well protected during shipping. The one thing I really liked about it was that the dividers in some of the compartments are able to be removed, offering a little more versatility as far as storage goes (see pics). The case has a very masculine look to it, which goes with the larger chronographs I have. It also has plenty of space for accessories, such as extra watch bands.

Overall recommended for the price
Color: Espresso, Color: Espresso
Pros:
Looks fantastic, just like the pictures
The latch feels solid
Packaging was nice and it arrived undamaged
Price is good for what it is
Cons
Durability of the fake leather on the inside is questionable, I don’t think this is something you’ll be handing down to your kids or anything like that
This thing has a smell that I’ve never smelled before but it is quite unpleasant… hopefully that fades after a bit but it’s really not nice at all out the gate

Read description and check pics.
Color: Espresso
Box works well, for storage and display. It’s a bit shallow but works for flat storage. No key lock.
