New Thing

Post by johneh » Wed Jun 28, 2017 5:50 am

Wanted something tough that could stand up to anything. This is what I ended up choosing.

Looks great, John. Definitely a tough watch.

Thanks Terry - it's why I ordered the green NATO and shoulderless bars from you yesterday. I think that will make a killer combo for summer!

Looks great and I'm sure it'll be killer on the NATO. What size is it?

I absolutely love these. If I had to go one watch, it would be this.

Nice, simple, classic style.

If I didn't have the need for a bezel or chrono function i could definitely wear one of those. Very nice, and the bracelet looks great.

Great pick up. The bracelet looks pretty darn sold-how do you find the fit of the bracelet?

How big is your wrist? I wouldn't have guessed that's 40mm.

It's about 7.125". Could be a little trick being played by the angle, but it does have a short lug to lug. Wears about the same as my Nomos Orion 38 to be honest which has longer lugs and a big dial:case ratio.

I'm gonna give it a go as my one watch this summer. We'll see how long that lasts. The bracelet is hands down one of the best I've worn too. Seems like a winner so far.

A ton of innovation packed into that timepiece, and also just flat out great-looking.

Well done.

Great little watch. I've had the version with the bezel somedays I wish I still had it.
