Sooner Or Later, It Was Going To Happen

Post by mattcantwin » Sun Jun 30, 2019 12:51 pm

Just added a NAFT; arrived Friday.

I've had three previously and figured I'd eventually pick up another.

Image


Anders continues to impress; he sent me a picture of the alignment to approve before shipping the watch.


I credit David and his picture on a DAS canvas for the "motivation" to pull the trigger.

Image


And a nod to Chris for another strap option.

Image


It was the pictures that hooked me on this variation, but the watch/dial combo looks even better in person.


When I get a moment, it will come off the bracelet onto a strap that hopefully, passes muster.

Man that’s awesome. I’ll definitely be keeping Gnomom in mind for that kind of service.

Congrats! Good choice and I still think it may be the best model of the bunch. I've had mine on for a week straight now.

Congrats! That looks great on the straps. I’m regretting letting my NAFT go and may have to pick up another.

Drunk Art Straps. I believe his books are closed for the time being.

I think I wore my old blue one for an entire summer on one of Terry’s Magnums. It’s a great wearing watch.

No experience with them, but I think Barton makes a decent canvas strap.
