Dear Hoppy, when you get bored of that dull white thing, I will be the 9th on your waiting list!
It is a very beautiful looking piece, my friend. Wear it well . . .

While this is likely true, it may take a while. Remember, I'm not Brice

Nice Hoppy ! Yowza ! Must have missed this a while back. So cool !
Terrific how the clean lines of the case mesh with the flawless dial. Has such a beautiful design
really, and seems like one of those watches that must be a joy to wear honestly. The NATO is
outstanding also that is on it. Big congratulations on this one !

And a while before that and the one before that, etc.
I agree Tom, it's a great looking watch.

Hoppy: Weren't you considering a BCA a little while ago? Maybe we should meet up and trade watches for a few weeks? BCA for the Solo?

I know I already commented on this, but man, this is hands down one of the best white dial watches I've ever seen. That OD nato is killer on it.

Thanks guys. Sorry Bjorn, I like the watch but don't really prefer the chrono version, I'm just not a chrono kinda guy
